Thus, a woman from Lahore along with her husband went to the restaurant last Sunday. The woman was wearing a dress with Arabic letters printed on it. The dress had 'halwa' (meaning beauty or dessert) printed on it. However the people working at the restaurant mistakenly believed that the clothes the woman was wearing contained verses from the Islamic holy book. They criticized the woman for insulting Islam. Hundreds of people gathered in front of the restaurant and threatened the woman. The woman was shocked by this.
The mob started shouting slogans demanding the death penalty for the woman, saying she had insulted islam and the book. This created a tense situation in the area.
