THIS
is with reference to the news item ‘Robbers kill policeman in DSP’s house’
(Dawn Metropolitan, Nov 21). I couldn’t help seeing the irony in the incident.
We are told all the time by the
police to keep copies of our servants’ CNICs, yet here is a police officer who
didn’t follow this rule. His guard, a constable, had introduced a servant and
his wife, but they turned out to be robbers and killed the constable himself
before looting the house.
Since the family did not have copies
of the servants’ identity cards, the police are unable to trace them.
But then, isn’t this symptomatic of
what’s happening in the country: those who make rules never observe them?
