A 36-year-old tourist was brutally lynched and his body set on fire by an enraged mob in Madyan, a town in Pakistan’s northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The incident, as reported by Al Jazeera, occurred following allegations that the man had desecrated the Quran, Islam’s holy book.
According to Swat police officials, the man was accused of “insulting the Quran.” The specifics of his alleged actions remain unclear.
“Our police team reached the main market in Madyan to arrest the man and took him to the police station, but the crowd demanded to have him handed over,” a police official told Al Jazeera.
The situation escalated when hundreds gathered outside the Madyan police station where the man was held.
