Robbery of sacrificial animals in Karachi, drivers protest against police

Published

KARACHI – Pakistan’s largest and most populated city, which got completely corrupted by gunpoint snatchings, witnessed another snatching, but this time of sacrificial animals. On the eve of Eid-ul-Azha, where Muslims sacrifice animals in remembrance of the Prophet Abraham’s practice. However, the theft of sacrificial animals is breaking the spirit of the religious festival.

The thing that attracts robbers towards this practice is the fact that owning a sacrificial animal requires no legal paperwork, and they can easily be sold with no questions asked whatsoever. For example, a bull worth PKR Two Million can be kidnapped and sold without any paperwork trouble.

A theft as such occurred with armed robbers on bikes snatching two cows along with vehicles for the transportation of the animals near the Northern Bypass cattle market on Wednesday. In protest of such a shameful act, the drivers of the loading vehicles blocked the road and staged a protest. They alleged that the police mobile patrol, which was stationed nearby, refused to assist and look into the matter, citing duty restrictions.
