Pakistan police kill doctor accused of blasphemy in a shooting incident in southern region

Pakistani government officials have accused police of orchestrating the killing of a doctor accused of blasphemy, with a provincial minister stating that officers lied about the circumstances of his death. The doctor, Shah Nawaz, had surrendered to police last week after being assured he would be given a chance to prove his innocence. This incident marks the second case in a week where police have killed a man accused of blasphemy, with activists suggesting that these cases have opened a new dimension in the country's blasphemy laws.
