Two arrested as brutally tortured camel recovers in Tharparkar

The condition of a female camel that was allegedly subjected to severe torture in Tharparkar has improved after medical treatment, according to a report submitted to Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah.

The Livestock Department informed the chief minister that the animal's condition has stabilised and it is now able to stand, walk, eat and drink without major difficulty.

SSP Tharparkar Arif Aziz informed the chief minister that police had registered an FIR at Khensar Police Station and arrested two suspects in connection with the case.

According to a report prepared by the Directorate of Animal Husbandry, a veterinary team visited the village in Union Council Charnhor on June 9 and carried out a detailed examination of the injured camel.

The report found that the camel's right eye had been completely ruptured and suffered irreversible damage. Its left eye was severely swollen and showed signs of stress-related inflammation.

Veterinarians also found multiple injuries and bruises on different parts of the animal's body. The report said the wounds suggested physical abuse with wooden sticks or other blunt objects. The camel was also suffering from severe weakness, exhaustion and malnutrition.

According to the owner, the camel was allegedly taken by a neighbouring resident on May 25 and kept at his house, where it was subjected to physical abuse. The owner recovered the animal two days later but did not immediately report the incident, claiming he faced threats and pressure from the accused.
