Humayun Faisal Masih was booked in a case lodged by Syed Zeeshan under 295-B (Defiling, desecrating etc. of Holy Quran) of the Pakistan Penal Code.
The suspect is a resident of Dhoop Sarri area of Sanda who allegedly set a box on fire that contained holy script pages. A number of people started gathering on Sunday night at the Ravi Road police station and demanded that he be handed over to them.

He said the police took Humayun into custody and also recovered the box which was partially burnt and contained sacred pages. The box was installed at a pole at Gulshan-i-Ravi, the spokesperson added.
