We all tend to value after loosing what we had but he was always precious by many of the standards which are used to describe a person as someone more valuable. When my colleague broke news of his death than it took a while to sync into it.
It was just before the Summer Vocations of 2009 when I met him outside the school gate, he was there to pick his brother Waleed Butt who actually introduced us to each other. I had never taught to either of them but me and Waleed were friendly because many of my students were his closest buddies due to which he used to visit my class frequently.
Adil Butt passed out of the school Metric section about two years ago; His teachers describe him as a naughty boy with a shy smile. His fair complexion, thick eye lashes, Broad structure and medium height were a signature of his Kashmiri ancestors. Eldest of the five brothers and sisters, the growing youth was indicating it to his father that very soon he would be sharing his work load and responsibilities but no body could imagine that he was growing towards the end at such an early age.
His death is a typical betrayal’s story which followed trust. Boys who kidnapped him were not only his friends but were known to his family also. They took him for ransom and killed him through strangle. The killers probably never realized that they took more than a life .They killed a brother and a son and a student and a Pakistani and a Muslim and God knows what else more.
Other than the death there is more for consideration in this incident. For instance most of the criminals are expected to be less than twenty years old and were involved in this crime for money. At such an early age how did they develop so much greed? Usually adversaries in life make us more cold hearted but they were young boys who were into enjoying life at cafes. Killing through a weapon looks easy as use of equipment keeps you away from having a direct contact and have a feel of other person’s life but these criminals strangled him, what made them so mercy less? Is it rough upbringing or growing temptations which made them Ruth less? Whatever it is has no justification.
What is your opinion about causes of criminal orientation at such an early age?
Please share and perform fatiaa for Adil Butt (May his soul rest in peace).
According to the criminals they threw Adil’s body in sheikhupura canal and so far body has not been recovered. All the details about the crime have been obtained through “Daily Jang”.
Over the time teenagers had been involved in different crimes even in suicide bombing. Age and maturity are two seperate things. Some gets maturity at early stages, some on late stages and there are some whom you can't expect at any stage, ( like you Inam; Just kidding .... ) all it depends upon circumstances / environment where they grow. Percent of crimes per population is almost same for centuries in the world however ratio in one region may vary. So you need not to worry about this all these are just natural as crimes are supposed to be happened. But we as a society shall focus on providing the healthy environment to our youth in order to lessen crime ratio and its intensity.
ReplyDeleteInam Sb... i am soooo heart throbbed over the incident that i dont even know what to say. The very thought of a mother ofcourse the others tooo.... but thinking of the mother alone... what must she be going through knowing that her son is no longer with her. Why dont these criminals think abt things wen they are abt to commit such a hideous crime. what do they get out of it. maybe these are such q's that cannot be answered.... i can just pray to Allah that he give his family the strength and patience to bear this tremendous loss.
ReplyDeleteAdil Butt was a boy who liked to experiment with drugs. He went away with friends and took hard drugs at a party and died of an overdose, when this happened the group of friends were frightened and didn't know what to do. When his father realised he didn't come home and suspected the worst he claimed his son had been kidnapped because it was the only way the Police would take action. No Pakistani law enforcement is going to go looking for a missing boy unless he is rumoured to of been kidnapped. I suggest you all stop reading what you hear in the papers as you should know by now most of it is bullshit.
ReplyDeleteGet a life, dude. I think YOU were involved in the murder too. What a cool story you made, just like that. It just needs more dragons and fairies.
