PESHAWAR: A Chinese national has denied an accusation of blasphemy levelled by fellow workers on a hydropower project, police said on Tuesday after a court remanded him in judicial custody.

The Chinese man was brought before a court late on Monday where he said he had been falsely accused, police official Tahir Ayub told Reuters.

The court sent the man to jail on judicial remand for 14 days, he said, adding that police were not identifying him for his own safety.
