In a bizarre theft, a woman in Punjab’s Muzaffargarh district has lodged a case against seven suspects including her two brothers for allegedly stealing dung worth thousands of rupees, it emerged on Monday.
Police in the suburban area of Rangpur in Muzaffargarh have registered the first information report (FIR) of dung theft on the complaint of woman identified as Nagina Mai.
According to the police, the woman alleged that the cattle dung, piled in front of her house, was stolen by her brothers early morning on January 31 through a tractor trolley.
Nagina Mai stated the dung stolen by her brothers was worth Rs35,000.
A case against the five named and two unidentified suspected burglars has been registered on the complaint of the woman.
Moreover, the Rangpur police said that of the suspects had been arrested after they seized a tractor-trolley loaded with the stolen dung.
Such bizarre cases of robbery are an infrequent occurrence in Pakistan. Last year in April, police in Punjab’s Layyah arrested a suspect for allegedly stealing clothes from a tailor’s shop.
The police said the suspect was observing Itikaf at a local mosque when he was taken into custody.
They added that the suspect along with his accomplice stole suits from the tailor’s shop in Moti Bazar of the city.
At least 12 suits stolen from the shop were also recovered from the suspect, the law enforcers added.
In a similar incident last year, robbers stole 70 sacrificial animals ahead of Eid ul Adha in Karachi.
The stolen animals include mostly cows and goats, which are apparently relatively easier to steal, than camels.
The viral video of the incident circulating on social media shocked everyone as it showed unidentified man in Karachi stealing a cow within seconds.
The theft of the sacrificial cow in Federal B Area’s Ancholi Society was caught on CCTV camera on June 26. The footage shows a man getting out of an expensive car in the street.
