The SSP Sanghar reported that two of the suspects, Abdul Shakoor Shar and Abid Shar, have confessed to their involvement during the investigation.
The incident, which took place in Mund Jamrao village in Sindh’s Sanghar district, involved a landlord allegedly chopping off a camel’s leg as punishment for scavenging in his field for fodder. Soomer Khan, the camel’s owner, brought attention to the incident at the Sanghar press club, stating, “I have no enmity with anyone. I don’t know why this was done to my camel.”

The case gained widespread attention after a video of the injured camel went viral on social media, prompting SSP Sanghar to take notice and lodge an FIR against unknown persons under sections 429 and 34 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah also took notice of the incident. The wounded camel is set to receive an artificial leg and has been shifted to Karachi for treatment. A medical report issued by a board headed by Dr. Nazir Hussain, Director General of the Institute of Health Sciences, indicates the camel is suffering from severe blood deficiency. The report recommends continuous therapy, a balanced diet, fresh grass, and animal feed until the camel’s wounds heal.
