Karachi:
Karachi authorities arrested a trader on Saturday for allegedly selling sacrificial goats with plastic teeth in the Gulberg Chowrangi area, as reported by ARY News.
A video circulating on social media showed a customer removing what appeared to be plastic teeth from one of the goats, prompting swift action by authorities.
The arrested trader, who had come from Hyderabad and Karachi to sell animals for Eidul Adha, admitted under police interrogation that he was involved in the sale.
Police seized seven additional goats as part of the investigation into the incident, according to ARY News.
“The video circulated on social media provided us with vital information about the sale of goats with artificial teeth, leading to the arrest of the trader,” explained a police officer.
Eidul Adha, scheduled for June 17 after the sighting of the moon Zil Hajj on June 7, is a significant religious festival where Muslims celebrate Prophet Ibrahim’s obedience to God by sacrificing animals. The meat from these sacrifices is traditionally shared with family and those less fortunate.
The tradition, rooted in the story of the Prophet Ibrahimi, involves the sacrifice of animals for three days during Eid celebrations.
Investigations into the case are ongoing as authorities continue to look into the matter, ARY News reported.
