Nankana Sahib

Punjab police on Sunday arrested 12 suspects involved in the lynching of a man accused of blasphemy in Nankana Sahib, a day after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif took notice of the incident.

The arrests were made after the investigation and identification of suspects through videos, said police in a statement.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Saturday took notice of a mob lynching of a man over blasphemy allegations in Nankana Sahib, saying action would be taken against police officials who “failed in their duty”.

The prime minister took notice of the incident as videos circulating on social media purportedly showed a man was beaten to death by a mob over alleged blasphemy.

“No one is allowed to take the law into their hands,” Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had said in a statement.—NNI
