Blasphear

A journey into the heart of the city

By: Sohail Rauf

When sub-inspector Waqas Akram is posted at a dusty, sizzling Punjab town where a Hindu art teacher has been recently lynched on the accusation of blasphemy against Islam, he has already decided to quit police service following a not-so-great career. So, when he is assigned the case of a suicide of a seventeen-year-old boy, Waqas is tempted to accept the obvious and close the case. The ominous presence of a religious outfit around the boy’s house is another reason to stay away. But Waqas realizes there’s more to the case, when the boy’s friend reaches out claiming it was no suicide and that the case is linked to the Hindu teacher’s lynching. Waqas is intrigued as childhood memories of another lynching return to him. From witnesses’ statements, he pieces together accounts of friendships that transcended religions before they were ruined by betrayal, conspiracy, and religious fanaticism. Will Waqas succumb to the terror of religious bigots, or will he uphold justice in a society which badly needs it?
