Pakistan: Ahmadi man lynched in Karachi

Karachi, Apr 18 (UNI) A man belonging to the Ahmadiya community was lynched allegedly by Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) supporters who stormed into a religious place to prevent them from practicing their faith in Karachi's Saddar area on Friday.
The slain man closed his shop and rushed to the place of worship as soon as he learned about the incident, DIG Syed Asad Raza told Dawn.
“We have decided to lodge a murder case against the TLP leaders and workers. We are waiting for relatives to lodge the first information report (FIR). If they do not register the case, then the FIR will be registered on behalf of the state against the TLP workers,” the DIG said.
Due to rising incidents of similar attacks in the city, police were already deployed at the site, providing safety to the Ahmadi community members, when around 400 TLP workers gathered outside the community hall, he added.
DIG Raza said that the lynching incident happened at a market near the community hall. The man was taken to the hospital where he succumbed to injuries.
The police have retrieved the CCTV footage of the incident, and further investigation is on.
