On Wednesday, an enraged crowd vandalized a number of churches in Faisalabad’s Jaranwala tehsil over blasphemy allegations.
According to a pastor, the Salvation Army Church, United Presbyterian Church, Allied Foundation Church, and Shehroonwala Church in the Isa Nagri region were all destroyed during the incidents.
He claimed that demonstrators also burned down the home of a Christian cleaner suspected of blasphemy.
Police have filed a first information report (FIR) against the suspects under Pakistan Penal Code sections 295B (defiling, etc., of the Holy Quran) and 295C (use of disparaging words, etc., in regard to the Holy Prophet).
