Police arrest two suspects in camel amputation case in Sukkur

Sukkur: Police have arrested two out of three suspects allegedly involved in the incident of torturing and cutting a limb of camel in Sukkur, while one suspect is still at large.

The camel was reportedly tortured for trespassing into another landlord’s field and drank water from it.

Following directives of Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, Sukkur police launched an intensive operation and successfully apprehended two of the three suspects, the CM House said in a handout on Saturday.

“The first suspect, Qurban Brohi, was arrested earlier today, while police later detained the second accused, Rasool Bux Sheikh, after a raid carried out by SHO Kandhra on a tip-off. Raids are underway in different areas to trace and arrest the third-nominated suspect,” read the statement.

Media Consultant to CM Sindh Abdul Rasheed Channa said CM Murad has condemned the gruesome incident in Rohri, Sukkur, where a camel was brutally attacked and its leg amputated by three assailants.

Terming the act of animal cruelty as “intolerable,” the chief minister directed Sukkur police to arrest the perpetrators and ensure exemplary punishment immediately.
