The murder of his wife and daughter by DSP Usman Haider.


 A man shudders after reading the details of the murder of his wife and daughter by DSP Usman Haider. Murder in his own car, burying the bodies, erasing evidence, a two-month kidnapping drama—this is not just the brutality of an officer, it is the culmination of a rotten mindset. The wife and daughter were demanding the money, the plot, that the DSP had spent on the weddings of his siblings.


A vile tradition is quietly going on in Pakistan.


A father gives birth to many children, then makes one son “responsible” and puts the rest on his shoulders. He also pays for the fees of his siblings, clothes, marriage, dowry. He sacrifices his youth, health, and sleep—and he is told that he is doing a great job.


The real scene takes place elsewhere.


The brother’s wife sees that the salary that was supposed to improve the schooling of his children is being spent on the wedding suit of her maternal aunt’s daughter.


 His child is in a government school and his uncle’s children are in a private school—because “they have a responsibility, right?”


And then the brainwashing begins.

“You are the elder, you are the support”

“This is a reward”

“We are all one”


No, we are not one.

One is earning, the rest only know how to spend.


Just look at this scene:

A thirty-five-year-old man, capable of earning,

and his elder brother is getting him married.

I think there are not two, but three problems here:

The man who did not stand up for himself,

The elder brother who could not set limits,

And the father who divided his failure among his sons.


Then there are the wedding expenses.

When there is no money, why can’t weddings be simple?

Furniture, electronics, piles of clothes in the girl’s dowry.

Wedding food, DJ, hall.

Two thousand relatives from above who “must be invited”. 


Why is it necessary?

Because the money is not yours.

It is the earnings of this one brother who is used through his father's turban, family honor and emotional blackmail.


Now the question in this case is not whether DSP Sahib will go to jail or a mental hospital.

His wife and daughter have already gone to the grave.


The real question is:

DSP Sahib's siblings?

Come on, they got married.

Mission complete.


Then we ask innocently:

Why do our society, our relationships,

become so toxic?


Maybe because we look for the culprit after the murder,

but before the murder

we never put this thought in the dock

which has been killing silently for years.

We wake up after counting the bodies,

otherwise we would have been squeezing the blood of living humans for years.
