Mashal Khan was killed by students brainwashed by hate literature and influence of jamiats on April 13, 2017, at Abdul Wali Khan University, in Mardan- Pakistan. He was falsely accused of committing "blasphemy". This is not first such case but it is the most brutal one in recent years. The rise in blasphemy killings increased after the introduction of blasphemy law in 1987 by military dictator Zia ul Haq.
Between 1947 and 1987 only 2 blasphemy killings were reported. Between 1987 and 2017, so far over 57 high profile killings have been reported. On other hand, thousands of families were also forced to leave their homes or were threatened by the people previously, after someone accused them of committing blasphemy.
