Recently, an incident created a stir in Pakistan, which not only shook the social media but also raised many questions in the minds of the people. The police raided a rave party going on in a farmhouse, where many youths were found enjoying themselves amidst alcohol, dance and noise. But the story does not end here—the policemen who caught this party red-handed have now been suspended. What happened that the people who took action became entitled to punishment? And who all were involved in this party? Let us unravel the layers of this whole matter.

What was going on in the farmhouse?

This story, which started from a farmhouse in Kasur district of Pakistan, is now on everyone's lips. The police received information that a rave party was going on there late at night. During the raid, 55 youths were caught, including 30 boys and 25 girls. Alcohol and loud sound systems were also recovered from the spot. But the real twist came when the claim came that many of these youths were children of senior military officials of Pakistan and leaders of the ruling PML-N party. This revelation brought the whole matter into the headlines.

Why did the police face action?

After the raid, the police made a video of the arrested youths, in which the girls were seen standing in a line. This video spread like wildfire on social media. People strongly criticized the police, calling it a violation of privacy. The viral video also showed an attempt to forcibly bring some girls in front of the camera, which further deepened the controversy. The result? Kasur DPO Isa Khan immediately ordered an inquiry and two police officers—SHO Saqlain Bukhari and another investigating officer—were suspended. On the other hand, the court released all the accused, which further increased the embarrassment of the police.

The truth about the fun of the rich

This incident gave birth to a question—are rules and regulations only for common people? People on social media are taunting that rules like burqa and hijab are probably made for the poor or for show-off, because there is no dearth of fun for the rich. The identity of the youth involved in this rave party has also sparked a debate on the double standards prevalent in Pakistani society. While on one hand there is talk of strict Islamic rules, on the other hand this scene tells a different story.
