Sindh Minister of Chief Murad Ali Shah has noticed a cruel incident in Rohri, Sukkur, where a camel was brutally attacked and its legs amputated by three attackers on Thursday.
According to Reports, an influential landlord in Sindh’s Sukkur District allegedly tortured the animal after it entered his agricultural land to drink water and break the leg in the process. The camel’s owner said the landlord bound the animal to a tractor and pulled it in anger and also hit it on the face with sticks.
“Rentoring my camel, broke his leg and pulled it with a tractor. He even hit it on his mouth with sticks,” the owner said.
The incident emerged after a video of the attack became viral on social media, causing the minister of chief to take immediate attention. To denote the action of animal cruelty “intolerable”, Shah SSP SUKKUR instructed to personally monitor the case, arrest the perpetrators and secure exemplary punishment.

The wounded camel was treated in Rohri under the supervision of the District Council’s chairman Syed Kamil Shah, who has submitted a detailed report to the Minister of Chief. A veterinary team at Rohri Animal Hospital provided initial care before the animal was transferred to a shelter in Karachi.
Muhammad Amin, the camel’s owner, expressed gratitude for the government’s rapid action. “We are grateful to chief minister Murad Ali Shah and chairman Kamil Shah for their immediate support and efforts to save my camel,” he said.
CM reiterated that such cruelty actions will not be tolerated in Sindh. “The guilty will face the full force of the law,” Shah said.

Brutality has also revived reminiscent of a similar case in Sanghar last year, when a landlord allegedly chopped off a camel legs to be lost into his fields. The camel, which was later named Cammie, was rescued and taken to Karachi during the care of the CDR’s Benji project for animal welfare. Six suspects were arrested in connection with this attack, which drew widespread indignation. After months of treatment and rehabilitation, the animal recently stood on all four legs again using a prosthetic limb.
