Islamabad: Pakistan Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to rebuild the recently vandalised Hindu religious site in Tehri district.

The court also asked the government to rebuild the temple by recovering the amount from Maulvi Sharif.

Sharif is believed to be a prime suspect behind the incident.

A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed and comprising Justice Ijazul Ahsan and Justice Munib Akhtar heard a suo motu case pertaining to the demolishing of a Hindu saint's shrine in Karak district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, reports Geo News.

During the hearing, the bench was irked by the KP Police's failure to protect the Hindu temple, the news channel reported.

A violent mob vandalised a Hindu shrine and set it on fire in Pakistan's Karak district on Wednesday.

The incident took place in a far-flung area of Karak's Teri town, with police informing that the law enforcement personnel dispersed the mob after the violence, reports Dawn News.

"More than a thousand people led by some local elders of a religious party held a protest and demanded the removal of the Hindu place of worship," a local resident present at the site during the violence told DawnNewsTV, adding that after delivering speeches, they attacked the shrine, which was built before 1920.
