Rowdy boys: ‘They smashed window playing cricket’
Petitioner Sadia Anwar told the court that some boys in her neighbourhood would often play cricket in the street
LAHORE:
An additional district and sessions judge sought comments from the Ravi Road SHO on Wednesday on a petition filed by a woman seeking a case against a group of boys who allegedly smashed one of the windows in her house while playing cricket in the street. Petitioner Sadia Anwar told the court that some boys in her neighbourhood would often play cricket in the street. She said they were rowdy and often used foul language. She said that she had asked them not to play in the street because they would occupy the entire space and a lot of women and girls would find it hard to move about in the street. “They have refused to pay heed.” A few days ago, Furqan, Aslam and some of their friends were playing cricket in the street when one of them hit the ball towards her house. “The ball smashed one of the windows of my house. I went out and reprimanded them and told them to move elsewhere but they used abusive language and refused to stop playing.”
