KARACHI: Over two dozen sacrificial goats were stolen from Gulistan-i-Jauhar, Malir Cantt police said on Monday.

Area SHO Agha Abdul Rasheed told Dawn that a man had bought 25 goats and housed them at an empty plot in Block 8, where he employed a man to watch the animals.

However, on Saturday night, around three to four criminals arrived there in a Suzuki van, overpowered the watchman and took away all the goats, the SHO said.

He said that police had obtained CCTV footage from the area and asked the owner to lodge an FIR to initiate legal proceedings. However, so far, the owner appeared reluctant to pursue the case, he added.

The victim Abdul Manan told the media that the estimated value of the looted sacrificial animals was around Rs1.5 million.
