Farooqi Girls High School

A Pakistani teacher at the centre of a blasphemy row was in hiding on Friday as her school management denied all responsibility for the "dirty act" and called for her to be punished.

A large number of people, including activists of religious parties, ransacked and set on fire a girls' school in Lahore and clashed with police following reports that a question paper for a test had contained blasphemous references to the Prophet, police said on Thursday.
