ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's Sindh provincial government has ordered a probe into the recent killing of a Hindu youth by his Muslim colleagues in a Karachi factory for allegedly making blasphemous remarks about Prophet Mohammed.
After the probe was ordered by Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah, minority legislator Petambar Sehwani from the province's ruling Pakistan People's Party (PPP) went to Jagdish Kumar's home in Mirpurkhas last night to ascertain the facts about his death.
Kumar was beaten to death on April 8 by his co-workers, who accused him of making blasphemous remarks about Prophet Mohammed.
His relatives and several NGOs have organised protests and demanded that the government conduct an inquiry into his murder.
Sehwani met Kumar's relatives, including his father and mother.
The legislator also met local Human Rights Commission of Pakistan representative Kanji Ranomal Bheel and rights activist Asghar Narejo and exchanged views about the incident.
The legislator said he had been deputed by the Sindh government to inquire into Kumar's killing.
Sehwani said after completing his inquiry, he would submit a report to Chief Minister Shah for taking action in the matter.
