Pakistan: Hindu temple vandalised by mob in Bhong

| @indiablooms | 05 Aug 2021, 11:28 pm

A mob allegedly vandalized a Hindu temple in Bhong town of Pakistan on Wednesday.

The incident reportedly occurred after a nine-year old Hindu boy, who allegedly urinated in a local seminary, was granted bail by a local court on Wednesday.

According to reports, the mob also blocked the Sukkur-Multan Motorway (M-5).

Responding to the situation late in the evening, the district administration deployed rangers in the area after Deputy Commissioner Dr Khuram Shehzad and District Police Officer Asad Sarfraz visited the town, reports Dawn News.

Sources told the news agency that on the complaint of a cleric, Hafiz Muhammad Ibrahim, of Darul Uloom Arabia Taleemul Quran, the Bhong police had registered a case against the boy under section 295-A of the Pakistan Penal Code on July 24.

They said some Hindu elders did tender an apology to the seminary administration saying the accused was a minor and mentally challenged. But, when a lower court granted him bail a few days ago, some people incited the public in the town on Wednesday and got all shops there closed in protest.

District police spokesman Ahmed Nawaz Cheema told Dawn News the rangers had been deployed in the troubled area and the situation was under control.
