[DAWN] LAHORE: A 15-year-old boy near Lahore cut off his own hand believing he had committed blasphemy, only to be celebrated by his parents and neighbours for the act, police told AFP Friday.Local police chief Nausher Ahmed described how a holy man told a gathering at a village mosque that those who love the Prophet Muhammad (PTUI!) always say their prayers, then asked who among the crowd had stopped praying.
The boy raised his hand by mistake after apparently mishearing the question.
The crowd swiftly accused him of blasphemy so he went to his house and cut off the hand he had raised, put it on a plate, and presented it to the holy man, the police chief said.
The incident took place at a village in Hujra Shah Muqeem town, some 125 kilometres (77 miles) south of Lahore, the capital of Punjab
