When the woman’s dead body was brought to the graveyard for burial, a mob attacked the graveyard and tried to stop the family from burying the woman there as the deceased was an Ahmadi. Despite this, the minority community’s members managed to finish the burial process.

Sunni mob attacks an Ahmadi funeral procession carrying an Ahmadi lady. Imagine the pain. Grief of a loved one passing away. And then having them attacked and disrespect this way?

Where is the humanity? At least leave the Ahmadi dead alone. pic.twitter.com/fu07RraAjY

Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar’s Focal Person Azhar Mashwani wrote in a tweet that police and members of the administration reached the site as soon as the incident was reported.

According to District administration's report: "Police reached as soon as the incident was reported.
2 different areas have been demarcated for both communities' graveyards, as per the agreement between both communities' elders, & this longstanding issue of graveyard is resolved" https://t.co/hwoRvBndVO

Mashwani also quoted the district administration as saying that two different areas have been demarcated for both communities’ graveyard as per an agreement between elders of both communities. He said that this “longstanding issue of graveyard is resolved”.

Legal proceedings are linked with complainant's application. Apparently they have withdrawn application/complaint after mutual agreement of both communities and resolution of issue.
