Chief Justice of Pakistan takes suo motu notice of incident and directs authorities to submit report by Jan. 4
A mob of dozens on Wednesday set fire to, and demolished, several parts of a shrine dedicated to a Hindu saint in the Karak area of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, prompting outrage and promises from the government to ensure the rights of minorities in Pakistan were protected.
Videos of the mob desecrating the shrine and chanting pro-Islam slogans went viral on social media. In the videos, smoke can be seen emitting from various parts of the shrine, as the crowds destroy the building using pickaxes and shovels.
