A tragic incident in Islamabad has left people shocked and angry. The son of Islamabad High Court Judge Asif Reki reportedly ran over two young girls, killing them. Even more shocking, within just two days, the families of the victims reportedly forgave the underage driver, allowing him to go free.
The details of the case raise serious questions. The driver was underage and did not have a driving license. The car he was driving, a Land Cruiser, had a fake number plate and had not paid customs duties. Despite all these violations, it appears that no action was taken against him. A letter from the Customs Department even confirms that the car was illegal, but the driver is still free.
This case shows multiple failures at once. The driver’s age and lack of license did not lead to any legal consequences. The fake number plate and non-paid customs vehicle should have been enough to start an investigation. Most importantly, he killed two innocent children, but there was no immediate arrest or punishment. Many people see this as a clear example of injustice in the system.
Adding to the public anger is the fact that the driver is the son of a High Court judge. People are questioning whether power and status allowed him to escape the law. The incident raises a serious concern: can the law treat powerful people and ordinary citizens equally?
The reaction online and in the media has been intense. People are demanding justice for the two girls and calling for strong action against illegal vehicles and reckless driving, regardless of who is involved.
This tragic case is a reminder of the challenges Pakistan faces in protecting victims and holding the powerful accountable. While the families may have forgiven the driver, the public expects the system to act and ensure that such incidents do not happen again.
