Police arrested a trader in the Gulberg Chowrangi area of the metropolis on Saturday for allegedly selling sacrificial goats with plastic teeth. The arrest followed the circulation of a video on social media showing a customer removing what appeared to be plastic teeth from a goat. The viral video prompted the police to take action, resulting in the trader’s arrest and the seizure of seven other goats as evidence.
Police clarified that they were alerted to the sale of goats with artificial teeth through the viral video, prompting their intervention.
Upon interrogation, the detained trader revealed that he hailed from Hyderabad and had come to Karachi to sell his animals for Eidul Adha. Police have initiated further investigation into the case.
