\n A Pakistani man who allegedly claimed he was a prophet was shot dead in a courtroom Wednesday while on trial for blasphemy \u2013 which is punishable by death in the country, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Tahir Ahmad Naseem, whom a teenager accused of blasphemy in 2018, was seen in video slumped in his seat inside the court in the northern city of Peshawar, the BBC reported.<\/p>\n

After being quickly caught, his attacker yelled that Naseem was an \u201cenemy of Islam,\u201d according to the news<\/a> outlet.<\/p>\n

Naseem had been a member of the Ahmedi sect, which is persecuted in Pakistan after being officially declared to be non-Muslims, the UK\u2019s Guardian reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was sitting on my seat in the office around 11:30 when I heard the firing,\u201d said attorney Saeed Zaher, who rushed to the scene of the attack and said the victim was app<\/a>arently shot in the head, according to the news outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe killer was caught by the police and the body was lying on a bench within the courtroom,\u201d he added. \u201cA person entering with a pistol and murdering someone within a courtroom is very disturbing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Video circulating online appeared to show the accused killer sitting barefoot on a bench under guard, claiming he had been ordered in a dream to kill the blasphemy suspect.<\/p>\n

The victim was first accused of blasphemy by Awais Malik, a religious school student, after Naseem had struck up an online conversation with him while he lived in the US, the BBC reported.<\/p>\n

Malik told the BBC he later met Naseem in a Peshawar shopping mall to discuss his views on religion, after which he filed a complaint against him with authorities.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the Ahmadi sect suggested that Naseem was mentally ill and had uploaded videos to YouTube<\/a> claiming to be a messiah.<\/p>\n

Though blasphemy is legally punishable by death, no one has so far been executed for it by the state, the BBC reported.<\/p>\n

However, at least 17 people convicted of blasphemy are on death row, while many others are serving life sentences for related offenses, according to the Guardian.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
