Pakistani police have arrested a man in the central Punjab province under the controversial blasphemy law for allegedly burning pages of a book with religious teachings.
...
A mob wanted to lynch Mustafa but he was handed over to police, the Dawn newspaper reported.
Saeedi claimed that the accused's daughters had told him that Mustafa was beating their mother burning pages of the Quran.
However, "there were a few burnt pages of a children's learning book containing holy words and not the pages of the Holy Quran," Saeedi said.
He said that Mustafa's relations with his wife were strained because of some financial problems.
Critics of Pakistan's blasphemy law have complained that it is often misused for settling personal scores or to persecute the country's minority communities.

If it were not so tragic it would be funny.
Blasphemy laws need to be abolished immediately.
