SUKKUR: A camel that suffered severe injuries after being brutally assaulted in Saleh Pat, Sukkur, has been shifted to Karachi for advanced medical treatment, officials confirmed on Saturday.

According to the Chairman of the District Council, the camel received initial medical attention in Sukkur before being immediately transported to Karachi.

The incident occurred a day earlier when the animal reportedly entered a field to drink water, angering an influential landlord. The camel’s owner alleged that the landlord broke the animal’s leg, tied it to a tractor, dragged it, and struck its face with sticks.

The owner further claimed that when he took the injured camel to a local hospital, doctors refused to provide treatment.

The case has sparked widespread outrage, with animal rights activists demanding strict action against those responsible for the cruelty.

Earlier, Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah has taken notice of the incident in Sukkur where a camel’s leg was allegedly cut off, directing immediate treatment for the injured animal.

According to details, the chief minister instructed Sukkur District Council Chairman Syed Kumail Shah to ensure medical care for the camel.

He said that cruelty towards voiceless animals would not be tolerated under any circumstances and that strict action would be taken against those involved in such acts.
