The tourist had found small pieces of probably Quran pages allegedly desecrated on the veranda, opposite his room’s door, the report said.

The man, who was identified as S*, a resident of Sialkot city, had informed the hotel management about it. The management informed the police and also started to force open the room’s door.

He opened the door. When asked, he “denied” desecrating the Quran. Police arrived and took him away to the station where they were “marooned.” He was detained for at least 30 to 40 minutes.

The blasphemy accused reiterated that he did not desecrate the holy book.
