Christians protest against ASP

LAHORE: A large gathering of Christians on Tuesday protested against Baghbanpura’s assistant superintendent of police (ASP)-Investigation for allegedly supporting a kidnapper. The protestors chanted slogans against police and appealed to higher authorities for justice. They said that Muhammad Abbas, a resident of Gohawa village, had kidnapped 14-year-old Christian girl Asma. They claimed that Asma’s family had appealed to the South Cantt police station to register a case but had been denied. They added that Abbas’s uncle Bashir had assured the family during a ‘Panchaiyat’ that the girl would be returned in a few days. However, Bashir later produced a fake marriage certificate saying Abbas and Asma had wedded. Asma’s brother Nadeem Masih had tried to contact higher authorities but Bashir and Abbas shot him and fled, said the protestors. staff report
