It was just over a month ago that the mercurial sound artist known as DJ Butt was assailed by the police in Model Town Lahore.
He was sleeping in his café-turned-event management office at the time. Now, when the newsreels and talk shows have moved on, when the murmurs of political retribution have gone quiet, he shows me CCTV footage from the day of the incident. He wants the world to know exactly what happened.
