Pakistani 'blasphemy vigilante' mob kills man

A crowd of vigilantes in Pakistan killed and burned the body of a man whom they accused of desecrating the Quran. Police registered a case against the mob of hundreds.

Hundreds of men swarmed on a police station in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province where they beat a man to death before setting fire to his body.

The victim had been staying at a hotel in the town of Maydan when locals accused him of blasphemy for allegedly desecrating Islam's holy book, the Quran.
