Aam Olas Ep 45
A Father’s Story
Yassin’s father, Umar, recounts the events that changed his life forever.
With Eid approaching, Yassin asked his father for a simple gift, a wristwatch.
Umar took Yassin and his siblings to the market for Eid shopping, a moment meant for joy.
Instead, it became a moment of irreversible loss.
What Happened at the Market
According to Umar:
- A dispute broke out between a traffic police officer and a rickshaw driver
- The argument escalated rapidly
- In the chaos, the police officer opened fire
- The bullet struck Yassin, a child who had nothing to do with the dispute
Umar says the shot was fired recklessly, without regard for the presence of children or civilians.
Police Responsibility and Public Safety
Police are entrusted to:
- Protect citizens
- Maintain law and order
- Use force only as a last resort
Yet, cases like this raise painful questions about accountability.
The shooting of an innocent child during a routine market dispute highlights a failure that goes beyond one individual; it challenges institutional responsibility.
After the Shooting
Umar describes how:
- The police officer attempted to flee
- He personally restrained the officer
- He took him to the police station himself
What followed, according to Umar, deepened his despair.
He alleges that:
- The officer was not immediately detained
- He was not treated like an accused
- He appeared relaxed, sitting casually instead of being placed in custody
For a grieving father, this response felt like a second injustice.
A Family Without Power, Seeking Justice
Umar comes from a modest financial background.
He has other children to care for, and now a loss that cannot be healed.
On one side stands:
- A powerful institution
On the other:
- A father who lost his son while shopping for Eid
His only demand is justice through lawful means, nothing more, nothing less.
Why This Episode Matters
This case is not isolated.
It reflects a broader concern about:
- Use of force in public spaces
- Protection of children
- Equal application of the law
When innocent lives are lost, silence becomes complicity.
Aam Olas’ Appeal
Aam Olas has placed the facts before the public.
Now, responsibility extends beyond journalism.
- Stand with lawful justice
- Demand accountability without hatred
- Support families who have no voice
Justice must protect the weak, especially children.
Final Reflection: “My Child, My World”
“Zama Bachy Zama Jehan”, My Child, My World, captures a father’s pain in three words.
No parent should bury a child.
No child should become a victim of adult conflict.
If you believe in justice, raise your voice responsibly.
Your awareness can help ensure that such tragedies are never repeated.
