Police said that the boy was accused by the residents that he had sent some text messages containing blasphemous contents to his Muslim friends,but Stephen told that his mobile was used by his Muslims friends.
However, apparently after realizing the gravity of the situation the family had vacated the house and been placed in some unknown place under the custody of CIA Police, said a senior police officer of the area "told Stephen".
“Had they not left the house, the situation could have been really bad,” the officer observed.
The protesters also raised slogans against the family.
After the turmoil, police reached the scene and tried to appease the protesters assuring them that police would register the case.
They have only our family in Pakistan who are their relative and we are also under fear of feeling of insecure,told Stephen uncle of Mr.Ryan accused of blasphemy,he also added that his nephew Mr.Ryan also often visited his house with some of his Muslim friends.
