I took in confidence couple of my friends and next day we went to police station Rmna for copy of FIR (First Investigation Report), which shows the case is being registered against the girl RIMSAH charging 295-B, which can cause life sentence penalty. In this unpleasant incident of blasphemy case the little girl Rimsha and the fellow Christians residents were badly beaten up by the Muslims inhabits and after facing ill-treatment, they were forced to leave their houses and flee from the area instantaneously. Locality and situation of the Christians Meran Jaffer (known as Meran abbadi) next to Sector G-11, Islamabad, capital city of Pakistan. About fifty Christian families live there among 500 Muslims for the last 15 years. Most of the Christians are laborers and their women work as maid in the near by bungalows, while Muslims are involved in business, property owner, etc. Due to the low income Christian people cannot afford to send their kids to school, colleges. 1.Even they don’t have chapel there. 2.So they used to arrange Sunday service or gathering in houses. 3.Even then they are forced to restrict their voices during worship. 4.They have to observe the azan timings. Actual Story I was the first person, who got this news and broke it, when I enquired the incident from the victim family and visited the area I came to know the family had recently shifted to the said area. So during the cleaning the hired house the girl Rimsha was sent to throw the garbage consisting of wooden stove residue, waste papers etc. she didn’t the waste material. Rimsha throw the waste bag and on return she unexpectedly was stopped by the woman, who enquired about the waste material and she that why she had burnt the papers printed Arabic words printing. When she denied the woman showed the paper which was slightly burnt from the lower end but the whole Arabic printing was saved, Rimsha said.She said the she was unaware of it. But the woman start beating her to enforce to commit that she had committed the crime. In the meanwhile Mr. Malik Ummad (the complaint) came across and stopped over to ask the reason. The woman showed the same paper who become violent and started maltreating. Thus maltreated and unaffectedly tortured Rimsha was forced to set the pages into fire and throwing into the garbage. Malik Mohammad Ummad brought this case into the notice of local priest (cleric) Qari Khalid Jadoon, who immediately called Rescue 15 (Emergency police), they referred this case to the police station. Then they went to police station Rmna, G-11 for the registration of FIR against Rimsha.
