A mob attacked a man and beat him brutally inside a mosque in Chitral after he was accused of uttering blasphemous remarks following Friday prayers.
The man, who is yet to be identified, is alleged to have pushed the imam of the mosque to allow him to speak after jummah prayers, a local present at the site told DawnNews. Eyewitnesses claim the man then uttered blasphemous remarks amidst the prayer gathering.
As worshippers started beating the man, the mosque's imam, fearing for the man's life, handed him over to the police.
Police took the man to the local police station for his protection. They said they were trying to ascertain the man's mental health.
