Mob Lynches Ahmadi Man in Karachi; Police Act

A mob of around 400 Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) supporters stormed an Ahmadi place of worship in Karachi's Saddar area, resulting in the lynching of a 46-year-old Ahmadi businessman beaten to death with sticks and bricks. Police and rangers were present due to recent similar attacks and managed to disperse the crowd and rescue those inside. Authorities are now collecting CCTV footage and have announced plans to register a murder case against TLP leaders and workers, though the party denies involvement. Human rights groups strongly condemned the attack, highlighting systematic state complicity and worsening persecution of the Ahmadiyya community in Pakistan. Ahmadis continue to face legal and social discrimination in the country. Separately, a man was killed in Karachi the same day over a personal dispute unrelated to the religious violence.
