CHRISTIAN BREAKING NEWS: [UPDATE] Christian Man Attacked by Mob on Allegations of Desecrating the Quran Dies of Injuries after 9 days in Pakistan
A Christian man from Sargodha in Punjab province, Pakistan who was injured and rescued from a mob attack late last month died on Monday in a Rawalpindi hospital, according to a relative.
Sargodha police had rescued the man from a lynch mob on May 25 after he was accused of desecration.
They also attacked the homes of other members of the minority community in the district’s Mujahid Colony.
People had gathered and knocked on the victim’s door.
When he came out, the mob attacked him with kicks and fists, hurling stones at him.
The crowd had gathered and set fire to the Christian family’s shoe shop before attempting to enter their home after damaging the walls and doors.
A terrorism case was eventually filed against 44 nominated and 300/400 unidentified suspects, and more than 100 people were arrested.
Meanwhile, police had filed a blasphemy complaint against the Christian man.
The victim’s nephew denied allegations of desecration.
On the day of the incident, after rescuing the man, the police had transported him to a military hospital, with the nephew reporting that his uncle was in stable condition.
A week ago, when social media posts reported that the father and his son had died, the nephew clarified that his uncle was “fine and alive” and had been transferred to another hospital for treatment.
Another nephew of the Christian man told Dawn.com today that his uncle died in a Rawalpindi hospital, and that his body was being sent back to Sargodha for a burial, which was scheduled for this afternoon.
