THE INCIDENT
The lynching incident had taken place on Saturday in Khanewal's Jungle Dera village, when a middle-aged man was stoned to death by a mob over alleged desecration of the Holy Koran.

The first information report of the incident, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, was registered at Tulamba cop shoppe on the complaint of police officer Munawwar Hussain under Sections 148 (rioting, armed with deadly weapon), 149 (unlawful assembly of people), 186 (obstructing public servant in discharge of public functions), 302 (intentional murder) and 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty) of the Pakistain Penal Code and Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act.

The FIR stated that when police officials reached the village, a man accused of burning the Holy Koran was found tied up with ropes and being subjected to violence by a large mob.

The FIR said the police tried to placate the crowd but to no avail, adding that the 33 identified suspects and around 200-300 others eventually killed the man after beating him with rods, sticks and bricks.

"The suspects hung his body from a tree which spread immense fear," the FIR said, adding that the body was recovered after much effort and taken for a postmortem examination.

The FIR said the coppers were also subjected to violence by the suspects due to which a sub-inspector suffered injuries and required medical treatment.
