Mob attacks Pakistan police, fails to grab blasphemy suspect
PESHAWAR, Pakistan – A Muslim mob burned a police station and four police posts overnight in northwest Pakistan after officers refused to hand over a mentally unstable man accused of desecrating Islam’s holy book, the Quran, authorities said Monday.
No officers were hurt in the attacks, which forced the police to summon troops to restore order in Charsadda, a district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, local officer Asif Khan said.
A video posted on social media showed the police station burning.
