In a disturbing incident in Raiwind, Punjab, two brothers were beaten to death in broad daylight over a mere Rs 30, captured in a harrowing video. This is not an isolated event, but a fatal reflection of a broader societal collapse, where petty arguments increasingly trigger extreme violence.
A Pattern of Tragedy
Similar incidents have unfolded across the country:
In Attock, a teenage boy fatally shot a tailor following a minor dispute over tailoring orders.
In Charsadda, a man killed his own wife and son—allegedly over a petty argument—before injuring his daughter.
n Sahiwal, longstanding land disputes between cousins ended in a violent ambush that killed two brothers.
These tragic losses of life over trivial disputes underscore a deepening societal failure in resolving conflicts via peaceful means.
