An eye witness shared this on a Facebook Page: "the whole operation was preplanned and planted.
neither Shia muslims are Sunni muslim burnt the mosque , i was standing there with my sunni brothers and allhumdulillah they all stood united with me.
90% of the people commenting were not even there and dont know the actual story and yet they are judging each other.
no SHIA was angry on Sunnis or anyone else other then the Molvi who intentionally turned on the loud speaker at exactly 0300 pm , at which point most of the namazi had left the mosque after jummah , he started quoting and said something that was in favor of Yazeed and as far as i have heard he said something against Hazart hussain A.S in reply to that , the shias outside who were reciting Nohas did nothing more then raising their volume and continued their rituals until few boys aging 20-22 started yelling "SHIA KAFIR SHIA KAFIR" to avoid this from growing two police officer , went upstairs and asked them to quite down , at the same time the boys on top of the building started throwing stones from above.( i have a video evidence ) at the same time more officers rushed inside that building and the people on the road panicked to provide cover for women and children a few men started throwing stones toward the people on top of the building . the police force on the other side without realizing what actually happened fired tear gas on the crowed which eventually turned the crowed against the police.
on the other side , the two police officer who went inside to settle things out were reported dead (a senior office later told ).
i noticed some people on the roof top with Aks, i had no choice but to keep a distance so i walked back , about 150 meters away and the moment when they started Arial firing all the police mobile started falling back (see picture 5 for reference ) the crowed wanted protection and the police was running away that is the reason they were stoning that fat A** .
after a minute or so the firing stopped and things cooled down a bit. at the same time , on the other end of the road a huge crowed was addressed by the "mukhtar force " (Pvt security unit) in which they appealed the police and the authorities to clear the area so we can move the women and children to safety . they also demanded the arrest of the molvi .
at that time , smoke from behind the complex arose not the masjid not the market but it was behind the whole block , black smoke i think it was Tyre .
nothing on the front (the route of jaloos) was on fire at that time.
a few minutes after the silence, 0312 i believe the firing started again (a guy died in that , as told by a rescue 1122 guy) and a group of people exits the mosque . who were chased by the police and the people in the jaloos , the group of people joined another big group of people who were already waiting for them with wooden bats and sticks and stones (seen in the second picture) . mobile service was suspended i wonder how they all got there within seconds **
after 4 5 minutes fire appears from inside the corridor of the gate way to the building which also leads to the mosque (the mosque is on the 1st and second floor or a building, two shops on ground floor )
a few men accompanied by the police enters the mosque to see if its clear and is weapon free . i have no idea what happened inside but i did saw a few kids of age 20-25 holding alot of copies of Quran , they were running and were trying to find a place to Secure the Quran. my friend Ali was one of the person who got them out . a few men holding wakie takie asked people to move back from the mosque the people and at that time no one was allowed access .
the people protested and demanded the person responsible for all this . and after few minutes the front of the building ,( not the mosque) was on fire . i have still pictures of that as well.
fire brigade which was always on stand by was not called until the first 30 minutes of the fire . ( mis-coordination i am sure) but that really made alot of people pay a heavy price.
the fire brigade came when the whole front turned black at that time a small group of people protested against the mismanagement in front of the fire brigade for a few minutes.
to add more salt an idiot police men fired some rounds in the air and the crowed dispersed .
on the other side the jaloos never stopped and followed the route and plan .
i left that area after that, but i still managed to collect all the possible information i could from my non biased sources .
the firing continued for hours. i could still see the smoke coming out till 0600 after that.
note : No one in the jaloos was carrying a weapon and they other party was directly firing at them later.
I dont really think that those 100-200 people who are responsible for this mess were representing Islam so dont think we should blame the whole community for something done by a few individuals.
i still love all of my muslims brothers and believe in treating equally.
we all must think before commenting on a public forum, it can create more distance between us.
