SUKKUR (Kashmir English): A feudal lord brutally tortured a young female camel in Sukkur’s Saleh Pat area after it allegedly wandered into his farmland to drink water and damaged his crop.
The incident took place on Thursday, prompting the Sindh Chief Minister, Murad Ali Shah, to take notice.
The landlord allegedly tied the camel to a tractor and dragged the animal across the ground, beat it with sticks, broke one of its legs, and wounded the animal in the face.
The camel’s owner said he tried to get the injured animal treated at a nearby hospital, but the doctors refused to help.
Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah took notice of the incident on Friday, saying such cruelty to an animal could never be tolerated.
He directed Sukkur District Council chairman Syed Kamil Shah to ensure the camel received proper medical care.
Following CM’s directives, Kamil Shah contacted the owner and promised that the government would arrange treatment.
Kandhra police have booked three suspects on the owner’s complaint, arresting one while a manhunt continues for the others.
In June 2024, a similar incident was reported where the leg of a camel named Cammie was allegedly chopped off by a landlord as punishment for entering his field in search of fodder.
A video of the wounded camel that circulated on social media prompted swift government action.
