The Reason Behind Christian Man’s Severed Hands- Religion or Accident?

On Tuesday, a Christian man alleged that some people had severed both his hands for failing to convert to Islam.

However, police are in doubt of his version and claim that he had lost his hands in a train accident.

Aged 25, Aqeel Masih of LDA Quarters Model Town handed an application to the Ghalib Market police station, maintaining that some Muslim men had chopped off his hands with an axe for refusing to convert to Islam on June 24.

He was moved to Jinnah Hospital where he was unconscious for several days, later reporting the occurrence to the police on Tuesday.

Masih mentioned that he did not know the names of the attackers and would only be able to recognize if he saw them.

Amara Ather, Model Town Superintendent of Police (SP) reported that the man had come forward to the police to file a case against unidentified people for cutting off his hands.

She further went on to say that a medical report presented by a doctor showed that Aqeel had lost both hands in a train accident not far from a beverage factory in Gulberg II. After hearing his cries, some people rushed to the railway track and moved him to Jinnah Hospital.

Eyewitnesses were quoted as saying that the man was lying unconscious on the track near a 7up factory when a train crushed his hands all the way to his elbows. The SP said some four to five people were present at the scene.

She added that evidence was being gathered and a case would be lodged against unidentified people after Aqeel’s statement had been recorded.

According to the SP, the victim was an addict and his chopped hands had been given to his father.
