VIDEO: Pakistani woman mobbed as Arabic text on kurta mistaken for Quran verses

A woman in Pakistan was rescued by the police after being mobbed for wearing a kurta with Arabic prints, which people allegedly mistook as verses from the Quran.

The woman was mobbed when she visited a restaurant in Lahore with her husband wearing the kurta with Arabic prints, which some people thought were the Quran verses.

The woman was later rescued by police after people asked her to take off her kurta.

In the video now going viral, a woman police officer is seen urging the crowd not to resort to any violence. She also clarified that ‘The woman had gone for shopping with her husband. She had worn a kurta that had some words written on it. When some people saw it they asked her to remove the kurta. There was a confusion’.

The woman was later taken to the police station where she apologised for hurting religious sentiments. "I had no intentions of insulting anyone's religious sentiments. I bought the kurta just because it had good design," the woman said.
