The Young Swindler in Peshawar
Months ago a gentleman from Chitral, Mr. Dinar was robbed by a boy
in Qissa Khwani Bazar by giving him some powerful intoxication in
dried mulberries which is a well known winter diet of Chitral. Some
days ago another man from Drosh town of Chitral, Mr.Habib came
across a young boy who introduced himself to be an employee from
Balahistar fort who had come to the market to buy some item of
utility for a Subedar. The boy brought Mr. Habib into conversation
and gossip and then told him that he was also going to the same
portion of the interior of Qissa Khwani Bazar where Mr. Habib was
going. After some company between them the boy gave the man some
baked beans to eat. Mr.Habib did his part to some extent and not
eat the beans and put them into his pocket. After coming to a
mosque where Mr.Habib was to stay he took out the beans from his
pocket and first washed them with water and observed that there was
some blue colour getting mixed with water. When he washed them he
tried to have the taste of the beans and as soon as he got that he
fell unconscious for two days and was admitted in Lady Readings
Hospital before getting to senses.
It is most dangerous as the intoxication being giving to a human
contains a limit and if it gets beyond limit may become dangerous
for life. Now what is needed is to make the thing pointed out to
all so that such dacoits be held up at once. People must be aware
of such cheaters whether be male or female and not get fully at
ease and at home with people just seeing just speaking Chitrali (K'howar)
language.
