Pakistani police have registered a case against over 6,000 unidentified people on charges of terrorism, ransacking and attempted murder during a protest against an anti-Islam film in Lahore, officials said today.

"We have arrested 36 people so far and we will use footage from TV news channels and CCTV cameras to identify the other culprits," Lahore Police spokesman Niyab Haider told PTI.

The 36 people arrested on charges of inciting violence during Friday's protest against the anti-Islam film, were remanded to judicial custody for a fortnight yesterday by an anti-terrorism court.
