Pakistan: Police register case against Ahmadis for sacrificing animals
Toba Tek Singh: Thikriwala police in Pakistan's Faisalabad region have registered a case against five Ahmadis on the charge of hurting the sentiments of the Muslims by sacrificing animals in two houses during the recently held Eid, media reports said.
Complainant Majid Javed claimed in his FIR registered under section 298-C of PPC that after offering Eid prayers at village mosque he and other people received information around 6:45am that Ahmadis were committing the unconstitutional act by sacrificing animals. He said the community also hurt the sentiments of the Muslims, reports Dawn News.
Some people even made video of the incident and shared it on social media platforms.
Faisalabad city police officer’s spokesperson Syed Muneeb Ahsan told Dawn on Tuesday that a number of people gathered outside the houses of Ahmadis.
He said the police registered a case and arrested three of the five nominated men to quell protest.
He said the home department had issued a warning in which Ahmadis were directed not to take part in sacrificing animals on Eid.
