Thirteen men were detained in the Quaidabad area here on late Friday night for violating the ban on public gatherings and indulging in betting on cockfighting. Cockfighting is a blood sport in which two roosters are placed in a small ring and made to fight to death. It is illegal in many places but there are small communities that still hold these fights regularly.
A lockdown has been imposed in the city because of which people are discouraged to leave their houses. Despite police warnings, many people continue to violate the ban.
