Two Christian nurses working at the District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital in Faisalabad have been booked on allegations of committing blasphemy after a mob held protest against them in the hospital. Several hospital employees held a protest demonstration on Friday against the two nurses, accusing them of having committed blasphemy by taking off a sticker with sacred text from a cupboard, reported Dawn.
A police van parked inside the hospital which was to carry one of the nurses to a safe location was also attacked by the mob. She was eventually locked inside the van to protect her from the protestors.
Dawn quoted a police officer as saying that the alleged incident took place where physchiatric patients are being treated. The removed sticker was reportedly taken into possession by a head nurse who told the higher-ups about the matter.
