As everyone knows that Karachi is a city of light but these
days lights have more than one source. Initially the city sparkled by the KESC
but these days bullet sparks are also helping the cause. But, this is what
everyone must be aware of but, what people are not aware of can be easily
understood by this reading.
I don’t read newspaper because of the depressing news into
it, but yes if something informative than I must go through. And in my case
‘informative’ means anything which can help me out. So, I was just reading news that was shared
by one of my colleague which was related to statistics of express crime in
Karachi on monthly basis. And it’s around 130 registered crimes and around 500
unregistered crimes because no one goes for FIR of such crimes and in many
cases Police don’t even lodge an FIR.
So, here few questions rise:
How they target us?
Why Police don’t lodge an FIR?
If anyone of us thinks that they are not organized then it
must be our thoughts, because they are quite organized even far away from our
thoughts. They are tracking our phone calls, our daily activity using
foursquare, our lifestyle using Facebook, and our job using linked-in.
So, how to prevent from such things, try to be a hard target
for them by avoid sharing your personal stuff over the net. Don’t talk about
transaction details over the cell phone, specifically if it’s registered on
your name. Block all those unnecessary
people who are following you at foursquare or twitter. And, in case of linked
in you can’t help it. Even they are getting the accounts information from the
banking system that how much amount do you have in your account. Recently, a
bank manager kidnapped and it was probably to fetch information about his
clients. So, this thing shows how they can fetch information easily of those
who have quite healthy bank statements.
Few days back two snatchers shot on my car because I tried
to escape and saved to become victimized. But, I was amazed to see the
precision in the shot they have made as by the grace of Almighty Allah I was
saved from only 4 inches while my car was moving fast and in zig-zag order,
else it could blow my head.
But, that depression was less than the depression I faced
while I went for lodging an FIR against it. It happened near Tipu Sultan road
while I was heading towards Dunkin Donuts from Balooch Colony. So the nearest
station I got was in M.A.C.H.S, the officer said it’s not under their
jurisdiction, left for the station in PECHS Bl-6, I went there but the officer
there was really funny. First question he asked was; where were you coming
from? I replied Airport then he said the FIR should be lodged at Airport not
here. I said but the incident held at Tipu Sultan Rd. His next question; was
the car moving? I replied yes. Then jurisdiction cannot be finalized you can’t
lodge an FIR, just drop me an application and we will look into it.
So, here I realized he is not at all willing to lodge an
FIR, but there was a genuine reason behind it. As no one can risk the life of his
family for just few thousands of salary; because these groups must have
threatened them not for their lives but for the lives of their family and that could
be a reason for not to take any kind of action against these people.
In my opinion if we know that police can't save us then the best option is to find own way to secure ourselves and second best option is to escape from this city or country to get a better peacefull life where atleast being a third degree citizen you will have rights.Sad reminder of the ground reality in Pakistan today. Anybody can just kill you like a dog and get away with it, specially when he belongs from political elite family.
