While the law enforcement officers like the police are there to help the citizens and eliminate any sort of wrong doings that goes against the law, there might be a thin line in knowing what actually is good and bad. There might might be times when these officers end?up doing things that seem strange to the rest of us.
A case like that happened in Pakistan to an artist by the name of Abuzar Madhu who was looking for a rickshaw at 3am when he was arrested by Lahore Police earlier this month.?
Why? Well, apparently because his hair was too long. That's right! The artist not only got arrested for that but also spent a night in jail because of the same reason.?
The entire incident was shared on Twitter by Abuzar's friend, Natasha who narrated what exactly happened.?
In the Twitter thread, it was mentioned that Abuzar was waiting for a rickshaw near Kalma Chawk when a police van stopped him. They asked him for his ID which he showed them and they still arrested him.
Despite the fact that Abuzar kept telling the police that he was an artist and a teacher, they took him to the police station just to teach him a lesson. They checked his bag and only found a few books in it.?Even after that, Abuzar had to spend a whole night in jail just because he had long hair.?
However, before getting his phone confiscated, Abuzar had asked a few friends for help and they got him out the next morning.?
Natasha, in her tweets seemed furious and asked why the police misused their power and harassed and bullied a teacher, an artist, a law-abiding citizen for no apparent reason??
Many others also supported Abuzar and questioned this incident.?
It's disheartening to see how some people still choose to control someone's way of living.?
