Open any page of your Chandigarh newspaper and you will see multiple

news articles related to various crimes almost every other day

happening in the tricity.

From committing murders to raping minors, it seems that nothing is

considered taboo anymore.

Aseem of MDC in Panchkula feels terrible reporting the sad state that is
currently being seen in the tricity.

Murders are happening in broad daylight in Mohali, Chandigarh and

even Saketri Village in Panchkula, and people are being killed off or
raped and then killed as if it is no big deal.

For those who dont know (really? Read the news man!) Currently,
there are about 4 murders that are being investigated by the police, all
brutal murders that will send a chill down your spine when you read
about them

1. Neha Ahlawat, a 25-year-old student, was found murdered in sector

38, taxi stand in chandigarh.

2. Varinder Singh, a resident of Saketri, murdered by Manmeet Singh

Warraich, son of MDC Panchkula Councilor and 8 other accused.

3. Ekam Singh, murdered by his OWN WIFE Seerat Kaur over god knows
what.

4. Akansh Sen, nephew of Himachal Pradesh CM, murdered by Balraj

Singh Randhawa & Harmehtab Singh Farid, over ego clashes.

The one murder that did not gather that much attention (probably
because it was not a high profile murder) is that of a 44 year old man
who was killed by his OWN son over a minor tiff! Dear Lord, it seems
that no relation is sacred anymore!

Not just that, every day there are new rape cases being reported in all
over the tricity.

A 21-year-old girl was allegedly kidnapped from a market in broad

daylight and then raped at gunpoint in Panchkula on Jan 27, 2017.

Last week on Mar 14, 2017, Ajay Kumar of Badheri village, in Sector 40
raped a 40 year old girl in Chandigarh near Public Toilets. On the same
day, a five-year-old girl was found injured and bleeding in Panchkula.
Police confirmed rape after the medical examination of the child, so
you can imagine where was she bleeding from. On Mar 28, a 32-year-
old woman was raped by a tenant living in the same building in Mohali.

It is shocking to learn that each day there is news about someone

raping a minor child. As children can be manipulated and threatened
after the crime, they are the soft targets for these disgusting sinners. I
Aseem of MDC in Panchkula cannot even believe that someone raped a
5 year old child. It is not a crime, it is actually a sin.

How can one even think of doing such heinous crime and that too with
a child?

Even if these people get saved from the judicial system, God will never
forgive them.

For now, Aseem of MDC in Panchkula wants to ask all of you, and even
myself, that where did we go wrong? Why have we stopped being
humans and have become demons?
Since when did killing people become this easy? Since when did we
start considering human life as disposable and of no value? Where did
it become acceptable to force yourself upon a woman, and more so,
upon a child?! Where are the values that taught us to respect women,
and not treat them as a sex object?

Where is humanity headed? Is this the future of our city? Is this the
kind of environment that we want our kids to grow up in?

We must band together as a society to combat this shocking and truly

sad change in the thought process of such people, and fight this
menace from its very roots, to the very top.

For if we, the common people, do not stand up and together, there will
be no end of high-profile murderers, who will kill people as and when
they want, and then ask their rich parents or relatives to save their ass.
We must stand against people who rape women as it can be anyone's
sister/mother next time?

We simply forget such news but we need to think about what will
happen if such incident happens with someone from our family? Will
we still forget it like we do always?

No amount of money can bring back a human life nor can heal the
physical, and more importantly, the mental & psychological wounds a
woman gets on being raped.

If this is where we, as a society are headed, then sadly, dark times lie
ahead of us, and of the future generations.
