1- This is an extraordinary tale of my experience while visiting crime scene related to sexual assault against a four year old girl and therefore, some graphic details of this dreadful experience may be extremely painful to read and hence reader discretion is advised. 2- We all have been reading and listening about such incidents through social media, news & other sources but we can never comprehend how painful it could be for the personnnel of law enforcing agencies to hold their nerves while investigating such incidents

Thread: Mental health crises; A policing perspective
1- Our culture is prevalently inconsiderate to mental health & suicidal subjects. We hardly pay any heed to those who suffer from mental health predicaments. Since talking abt mental health concerns is practically a taboo, 2- those who suffer silently, mostly take refuge in spiritual healing, because our nation still at large believes its more of jins, bhots, than a real brain messing up with a person.
Police is a section of the society that has the same familiarization with this subject because

Thread: Funeral of the corona virus victim #CoronavirusPandemic
1- The scenes of burial were terrifying. How can one imagine a burial taking place without the presence of your loved ones? Practically, no one. No one around to recite the last prayers as the body was lowered to the 2- resting place. No soft murmurs and slow sobs.
It was horrific, the air filled with fear & terror. The fear of an unseen & unfelt enemy that evade every barrier, respects no border, regard no age, gender or religion

1- I went to see my nephew last week & the delight he drew to my heart was far more profound than the pain his mother, my sister, & all of us went through 2 years ago. “A divorced sister & daughter are better than dead ones”, hits me hard every day & I cannot thank 2- Allah enough for where my sister is today
A few years ago, my parents married my teenage sister off in the family they thought would take good care of her that was nothing but their mere wishful thinking. The nightmare followed her lavish wedding, we spent every saved penny

Thread: Face to face with a child abuser
1- I have been down in dumps since last few days perusing all the news on social media and in the newspaper. It raises lumps in one's throat to see children being the subjects of sempiternal sadistic mental and sexual abuse in our country 2- As fate had it, I was unfortunate to behold one such incident that took place in the jurisdiction of my duty a couple of months ago. I was probing a case of a 10 yr old being raped by 3 teenage boys, ages 16-17. Medical reports of a 10 yr boy confirmed perianal wounds

Thread : The Honor & Shame syndrome
1- All our frets about our society being susceptible to the continuity & persistence of mediterranian modes of thought get vindicated when we see a father being more worried about his honor than the wellbeing being of his abducted daughter 2- A couple of weeks ago, A 13 yr old girl was abducted by someone she was well familiar with. Her father's servant. Multiple hideouts were first pinned down where suspects were believed to be sneaking at & then raided, but all of that was to of no avail for days.

1- In our culture women have always been kept footnoted and it is not something that we should be delighted with, in actuality, it is our national dark blot. The Women march that took place a few days ago has caused a furor on social media. 2- The pouring outraged against some of the posters exhibited in the march conveys a lot about us and how we are not yet ready to allow our women in public orbs.
A lot went through my spectacle online during these past few days, and it's worrying me to observe that most men have

1; Thread - Torr makhi (Black Face; Kalay)
Over the last few weeks, I have been noticing a well-grounded outrage pouring out on social media first, about how PTM leaders used the word Kaliya in a negative connotation & currently @SarfarazA_54 is rightly being owned for calling 2; SA player kala. Some want us to cut Sarfarz some slack, and their contretemps is,” What else would you call a black person if not black, what’s all this outrage about?” Well! let us all just call spade a spade and lay it out on the line. It is racism and discrimination.
