A 25-year-old man from Chichawatni has been booked for blasphemy due to his Facebook posts.

According to a report in Dawn, the case was filed by Shamsul Hasan, an assistant sub-inspector at the Saddar Police Station, following a complaint made on Saturday night.

The individual, who previously worked for the Senate in Islamabad, was accused of posting hateful content against the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in four separate posts.

The police discovered these posts while on patrol near Chak 107/12-L, where they took screenshots as evidence.

Although the man’s home has been cordoned off, he remains at large and is currently underground.

His family, including his wife and three children, have been taken into custody by the police for their safety amid rising tensions.
