Villagers set police tent station on fire
2005-06-28
SHEIKHUPURA: Angry villagers set Ajnianwala Police Station on fire on Monday night. Reportedly, some villagers handed over a mentally disabled person, Mazhar Iqbal alias Gogi, to the station for allegedly desecrating the Holy Quran. The police later released Gogi. On finding out the man had been released, the villagers demonstrated against the police and attacked the station, housed in a tent, setting it on fire. Damages could not be ascertained. Later, a heavy police contingent from Sheikhupura pacified the villagers.
