GUJRANWALA: The Garjakh police arrested Peer Muhammad Sadiq, the son of Muhammad Boota, on Wednesday in Mohalla Baghwala for claiming to be a 'prophet of God' and 'performing spiritual treatment' along with one of his disciples, Rana Shabir. On Tuesday night a 'Qawaali' was arranged at his residence where he claimed to be the 'prophet' and asked Rana Shabir to certify his "prophet hood", who followed the instructions causing anxiety and panic among the people of the area. The residents of Baghwala lodged a complaint with the Garjakh police that arrested Sadiq. The investigator of the case, Sub-Inspector Abdul Liaquat, said that anxiety prevailed in Mohalla Baghwala and they were therefore obligated to arrest both men to avoid any disturbance. Both of them are reported to be mentally sound.
Peer Muhammad Sadiq told police that his disciples would acknowledge him a prophet for their entire lives. Peer Muhammad has been reported to redundantly maintain his claim of 'prophet hood' and is still adamant to his claim of prophet-hood.
