DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Three girls killed a female seminary teacher after accusing her of blasphemy in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Dera Ismail Khan, according to the police.

The News reported, citing police sources, that the suspects said that their 13-year-old relative "had a dream last night" in which the victim, Safoora Bibi, allegedly committed blasphemy.

The incident took place in the Anjumabad locality within the limits of the Cantonment police station early morning around 7:30am on Tuesday, the publication reported.

In a video being widely circulated on social media, a KP police official said the three women slaughtered the seminary teacher outside the madrassa she worked at. The suspects have been taken into custody, per the KP police official.

According to the The News, the girls attacked the seminary teacher with clubs and sharp tools and slit her throat her at the doorstep of the seminary.

An FIR was registered by the victim's uncle, Zahid. He said that his niece was working as a teacher at Madrasatul Falahul Banaat Islamia.

The police said that suspects were 17, 21, and 24 years old, according to the publication. They killed 21-year-old Safoora Bibi over a "difference of opinion on religious issues" and allegations of blasphemy.

The police seized the weapons and arrested the suspects. The body of the victim was taken to the District Headquarters Hospital, where it was handed over to the heirs after an autopsy.

It looks more like a pre meditated killing using blasphemy as an excuse. Surely no one can be as stupid as that.

The blesphemy law seems a bit dangerous. Was there any attempt to make amendment to revoke it?

This is no blasphemy this is just a criminal act disguised through under the cover of this law. Criminal is criminal and should be treated as such.

 

[IMMY69]

This is absolutely shocking.

The blasphemy laws have to be changed.
People need to be educated.
The culprits need to be made an example of.

Enough of this already

So, they committed a murder based on a dream. That's funny.

Shocking.

Seems like 1st degress murder, using blasphemy as an excuse....

Throw them in jail and throw the key away...

This law needs to be removed and anyone who uses this excuse to commit murder should be hung, so the public knows not to take laws into their own hands..

Absolutely barbaric...

Anyone who abuses/misuses blasphemy law should get harsh punishments.

Nobody should take matters into their own hands. There is a process.

This is usually the case with these things. Have a disagreement with someone over whatever issue and you can always cry blasphemy as an excuse to wreak vengeance.

Not happening! People have been making false blasphemy allegation and getting away with it. When such incidents happen, not a single politician condemns such act because they do not want to be the next victim. It is as simple as that! I expect such killings to continue forever.

This country is ruled by the clerics and right wing. Extremism has seeped into every segment of the society. It is beyond recovery.

Can someone confirm this they killed because a 13-year-old had a dream of blaspheme? Am I right or is something wrong with me ?

The 13-year old had a dream in which the victim had committed blasphemy. The teenager then told the three accused who then carried out the beheading.

As much as I am against blasphemy law. What has this murder got to do with the law?. western countries don't have such laws but people do get murdered for blasphemy not as frequently of course but it does happen.

Because it gives a leeway to commit a crime and then shape it in the facade of blesphemy which is already full of ambiguity.

I've read the section and it certainly doesn't make clear definition about what blesphemy is. Unless you make a clear demarcation, it'll be abused.
