The news of multiple churches being vandalised by an angry mob in Jaranwala sent shockwaves across the country.
Furthermore, multiple homes of Christian community were reportedly looted as well.
Soon after the unfortunate incident, a high level inquiry was ordered to punish culprits and probe the matter thoroughly.
Now, initial investigation has revealed that the Jaranwala incident was the result of a personal enmity. Superintendent Police (SP) Bilal Silhari shared the details of the police investigation with media.
According to him, a Christian man devised a plot to entangle another Christian man in a blasphemy case after he found about his alleged affair with his wife.
Before framing his wife’s alleged lover in a blasphemy case, the man had hired a contract killer to murder him. However, after failing to execute his murder plan, he conspired to frame the lover in a blasphemy case along with his associates Dawood and Bobby.
Bilal Silhari shared details of how the main suspect carried out his plan B. The suspect first wrote a blasphemous letter and later left desecrated pages of the Holy Quran hanging from a rope in the street.
He then falsely accused his wife’s lover for the blasphemous act. The piece of rope has been recovered by the police and sent it for forensic examination.
