In Fact a Lady belongs to Muslim family come to their house for cleaning etc and Mrs. Alfred Pay her Monthly, But one day Mrs. Alfred realized that some of 50000/Rs is missing and when she was asked she denied and went out in anger, she went along with her husband to the nearest Jamea Mosque and blamed that Mr. and Mrs. Alfred disgrace the holy Quran to torn in pieces. The Imam of Mosque Moulana Abdul Rauf and Haji Abdul Rashid registered a case of Blasphemy without any investigation. They planned to take mob at their home and kill and burn there house.
