Muslim Mob Burns Tourist Alive Over Allegation of Desecrating Quran, Drags Victim Out of Police Station and Lynches Him

On Thursday night, June 20, a mob of frenzied Muslims lynched a man in the Madyan area of Swat district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan, after accusing him of desecrating the Quran.

The mob alleged that the victim had set fire to pages of the Quran, using this accusation to justify their violent actions.

The Swat police had initially taken the accused into custody to prevent any disturbance, but the mob overpowered the police, dragged the victim out of the station, and took him away.

The man was subsequently lynched and his body set on fire while yelling "Allahu Akbar" throughout horrific video that went viral on social media the same night, sparking widespread outrage and condemnation.

Even after the body is set on fire, we can see the Muslim mob continue throwing things at the body.
