Lynched Pakistani man did not commit blasphemy: police
The murder of an outspoken university student was organised by faculty members and rival students, says official report. An outspoken Pakistani student killed by a lynch mob was falsely accused of blasphemy, according to an official report that added his murder was organised by faculty members and rival students. “No direct or indirect evidence supporting blasphemy allegations against Mashal Khan Abdullah and Zubair was received,” the 308-page report, a copy of which was seen by AFP news agency, said. The investigation says that the killing was instigated by members of Khan’s own secular Pakhtun Students Federation, who felt threatened by his growing prominence as a critic of rising fees and alleged corruption at the university, as well as the institution’s staff. Last month a 10-year-old boy was killed and five others were wounded when a mob attacked a police station in an attempt to lynch a Hindu man charged with blasphemy for allegedly posting an incendiary image on social media.
