“He was on duty to oversee a mourning procession on the fourth of Muharram on the Fowara Chowk Rail Bazaar. While the procession was passing through the Rail Bazaar Chowk near a mosque, Faisal Shah – the accused — passed derogatory remarks which come under the ambit of section 295-A of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC),” Amanullah said.
