Shocking! Pakistani mob tortures a Sri Lankan man to death then burnt his body in public
A frenzied mob in Pakistan tortured a Sri Lankan man to death and then burnt his body in public, according to local media reports.
The incident took place on Wazirabad Road in Sialkot on Friday, where reportedly the workers of private factories attacked the export manager, a Sri Lankan national, of a factory and burnt his body after killing him, the Dawn reported.
A heavy contingent of police has been sent to the area to control the rampaging crowd.
Sialkot district police officer Umar Saeed Malik said the man was identified as Priyantha Kumara.
The police are yet to determine what caused the incident. Videos shared on social media showed hundreds of men and young boys gathered at the site, purportedly chanting slogans of “Labbaik Ya Rasool Allah” (Here I am at your service, O Messenger of Allah).
Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar termed it as a “very tragic incident”, while the spokesperson for Sialkot police said details would be shared with the media after the initial investigation.
“Every aspect of the incident should be investigated and a report should be submitted. Action should be taken against those who take the law into their own hands,” the chief minister said.
Punjab Inspector General of Police Rao Sardar Ali Khan also took notice of the incident and directed the Gujranwala regional police officer to reach the location immediately.
“The Sialkot DPO is present on the spot. All aspects of the incident should be investigated,” the IGP said.
The Friday incident bore resemblance to a similar attack that took place in the same region in 2010 when an angry mob had lynched two brothers in the presence of police, declaring them dacoits.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
