Another Twitter user @aman_khattana tweeted that unfortunately, in our beloved homeland of Pakistan, criminals are acquitted of major cases of money laundering and recommendation, which shows that there is no rule of law in our country, officials should use their positions properly and criminals should be punished. Impose harsher punishments to end crime.
بدقسمتی سے ہمارے پیارے وطن پاکستان میں جرائم پیشہ افراد پیسہ دے کر، سفارش کروا کے بڑے بڑے مقدمات سے بری ہو جاتے ہیں جس سے پتہ چلتا ہے کہ ہمارے ملک میں قانون کی بالادستی نہیں، عہدیداران اپنے عہدوں کا صحیح استعمال کریں اور جرائم پیشہ افراد کڑی سزائیں دلوائیں تاکہ جرائم کا خاتمہ ہو

In a separate incident in India, four armed attackers shot and killed Sandeep Singh Nandal Ambian in the middle of a competition in the Mallian Khurd village in Nakodar, Punjab. Considering that he was one of the leading regional organizers of Kabaddi competitions, the cold-blooded shooting stunned the sports world. He was shot numerous times in the head and rushed to the hospital by a few pals, where the medical staff pronounced him dead.
According to sources, the event happened as Sandeep was waiting to play a round with his colleagues. The shooters could be seen firing bullets at someone in a video of the incident and fled the scene as the crowd sought cover in the wake of the open fire, while the tournament was called off in the middle. He was hit with about 20 to 25 bullets and was certified dead when his body reached the local hospital. The Punjab State Police have opened an inquiry into the entire incident.
