A Sri Lankan national was tortured to death in Sialkot and his body was set on fire after a hundreds-strong mob attacked the foreign national over blasphemy allegations. Initial reports suggest that the incident took place on Wazirabad Road, Sialkot, where the workers of private factories lynched the Sri Lankan national, Priyantha Kumara. I am extremely shocked at the horrific Sialkot incident. The statement said the incident took place in RAJCO Industries, Sialkot, adding that the minister has summoned a comprehensive report from the minister. The K-P police had reportedly refused to hand over a man detained over alleged blasphemy to the mob.
