  • One of my grandfathers was murdered several years before I was born. He ran an off licence (small grocery store), when robbers took money and still used a shotgun to his face at point blank.

    I believe it took around 20 years to catch one of them, with the accomplice having passed away from other causes years prior to the capture.

    There have been a few attempted murders of friends/neighbours, over the years here, without anything coming of it.

    I’m not within any profession to be providing a direct answer to your question, however in my mind I don’t believe there would be much effort provided for most people. I say this with some confidence, after seeing how much is provided to the rich in comparison to, well, everyone else… Rather sad realisations, ngl.


  • My grandmother was on one of these trains. I’ll never forget the story of her survival.

    She got onto a train carrying her disabled brother. There were carriages transporting Gur (raw cane sugar blocks), and many people hid inside the bags. People came on board and started slicing into the bags, killing as many people as they could as quickly as they could.
    My grandmother and her brother hid behind a bunch of bags, rather than inside, which allowed them to have some barrier due to how thick the Gur is. I was told this was the last train out of Lahore, headed to Delhi, though I’m not entirely sure on the exact route.
