In connection with the mutilation of a camel that saw its right leg amputated in Mund Jamrao village in the Sanghar district a few days ago, a magistrate in Shahdadpur on Sunday remanded six suspects into police custody. The event happened on Friday when the landlord allegedly hacked off the camel’s leg as retaliation for the animal grazing in his field for food. After the event became widely known on social media, Sanghar police got in touch with the impoverished peasant who owned the brutalized camel, Soomar Behan.
According to police, the peasant had declined to identify the offender and bring charges against him. As a result, police filed a formal complaint on behalf of the state against six unidentified individuals under sections 34 (common intention) and 429 (mischief by killing or maiming animals) of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC). Another police-filed FIR claims that the six suspects resisted and fought officers when they were attempted to be arrested on Saturday. The six suspects were taken into custody from the Rantoo Bridge in Sanghar. They were named Rustam Shar, Abid Shar, Jaffar Jatt, Abdul Shakoor Shar, Gul Baig Lashari, and Darya Khan Shar.
Sections 353, 147, 148, and 149 of the PPC, which deal with punishment for rioting, armed rioting, and the conviction of all members of an unlawful assembly for crimes committed in the pursuit of a common object, were the basis for the second formal complaint. Sub-Inspector Atta Hussain Jutt stated that the suspects were brought before duty magistrate Asif Sial on Sunday. The police asked that the suspects be placed under arrest for 14 days while they conducted more investigation, claiming that they needed to locate the weapon that was used in the event. However, the suspects were merely remanded to police custody for four days by the magistrate.
