Crime scene

Author: Daily Times

Sir: Witnessing a crime scene is a scary experience. Last week when I was sitting in the window of my office facing the main road, I saw a few men in a vehicle intercepting a rickshaw and robbing two women sitting in it. They held up the rickshaw driver at gunpoint in broad daylight and fled the crime scene easily. No one dared stop the criminals. I was horrified to see all that. The thought that it could have happened to me as well sent shivers down my spine. I am also a woman and if I encounter anything like that, no one will come to rescue me from the robbers. Such has become the state of the country. Committing a crime and then getting away with it has become easy. Nobody is safe in the country today.
