Islamabad: The Lahore High Court has rejected the post-arrest bail plea of three persons accused of sharing a distorted version of Quran in a WhatsApp group, the media reported on Sunday.

The accused are the members of Ahmadi community.

The cybercrime wing of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Lahore, had filed a case on the complaint of Mohammad Irfan that Mahmood Iqbal Hashmi, Shiraz Ahmad and others created a WhatsApp group named 'Sindh Salamat' for the propagation of the Ahmadi community’s faith, Dawn reported.
