Mardan lynching: CM Khattak signs summary asking PHC to form commission: HumSub.TV: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak signed a summary asking Peshawar High Court (PHC) to form a judicial commission to investigate the lynching of Mashal Khan, an Abdul Wali Khan University student.
The summary has been sent to Peshawar High Court Chief Justice Yahya Afridi for the formation of the commission to probe the incident.
The chief minister had announced that a judicial inquiry will be conducted into the lynching incident.
Hundreds of students beat to death a classmate known for his liberal views on a university campus for alleged blasphemy in the country’s conservative northwest Thursday, police and witnesses said.
Mashal Khan, a journalism student, was stripped, beaten, shot, and thrown from the second floor of his hostel at the Abdul Wali Khan university in Mardan, sources at the university said.
Graphic video footage from the scene shows dozens of men outside the hostel kicking and hurling projectiles at a body sprawled on the ground.
The killing comes as Pakistani authorities including Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan have been increasingly vocal over blasphemy in recent weeks.
Blasphemy is a hugely sensitive charge in the conservative Muslim country, and can carry the death penalty. Even unproven allegations can cause mob lynchings and violence.
