[Post that is being widely shared on FB] Ram Parvesh & Abdul were childhood friends. The new pradhan elected in the village, gave daily lessons to Ram Parvesh who was changing soon. He told Abdul, 'cow gives milk, yet you don't call her mother'. Abdul agreed to term cow as mother
Ram Parvesh again said, 'you're strange, fields give food & you don't consider land as mother'. Abdul accepted. Then, Ram Parvesh said, Pradhan will check your house if you've black money, Abdul didn't like but finally agreed. Days later he told Abdul, this is not your village
Abdul came home but his mother got angry & raised voice against Pradhan. Ram Parvesh was upset, how dare she spoke against Pradhan. He told Abdul, 'your mother is taking Rs 500 to speak up against him". Now Abdul was hurt-angry, that it has come to this, even his mother targeted
He held Ram Parvesh by his collar. Entire village came to witness the row. Some tried to stop, others were just watching it. Ram Pravesh yelled, 'Abdul, you are a goon, your ancestors were dacoits, Pradhan has told me and it is the path of dharma to kill you. He fired at Abdul.
