According to Samaa News, a spokesperson for Faisalabad Police has claimed that their depart has uncovered the events that led to the Jaranwala tragedy last month in which a mob of 7,000 Muslims attacked the Christian community, destroyed their houses, and burnt churches.
As per the spokesperson, the incident was a result of a personal resentment between two Christians.
Police claim that Pervez Masih, a Christian, suspected his wife of having an illicit affair with Umair Raja. Masih hired a shooter, gave him money and provided him with a motorcycle to kill Raja.
“A heinous conspiracy was made to desecrate the Quran after the failure to kill,” the Police claimed.
Pervez Masih is among the three suspects involved in the conspiracy. The police allege that Pervex wrote an insulting letter in Umair’s name and desecrated the holy book.
Resultantly, on seeing the letters and papers, people got furious, leading to the formation of a violent mob.
Currently, the three people, including Pervez Masih and Umair Raja, are under custody.
