In a strange robbery case, police have arrested a suspect for allegedly stealing clothes from a tailor’s shop in district Layyah, Geo has reported on Tuesday. The police arrested the man from a local mosque where he was observing aitekaaf.
The police confirmed that the suspect, along with his accomplice, stole clothes from a tailor’s shop in Moti Bazar. At least 12 suits were recovered from the suspect, the police added.
Cases of theft increase around Eid. Last year, thieves stole 70 animals meant for sacrifice before Eid ul Adha in Karachi. The stolen animals included mostly cows and goats, which are apparently relatively easier to steal, than camels.

Anoushey Ashraf has urged netizens to respect and love their animal of sacrifice this Eid-ul-Azha. The Sehra mein Safar actress also requested people to sacrifice their animals in the the most “humane way possible”.
“Closing in on that time of the year where I always reach out to those on my Instagram urging them to care, respect and love their animal of sacrifice to the absolute fullest. A few things; Please make sure to remember it’s a ‘sacrifice’ NOT ‘slaughter’ and it takes place in the most humane way possible,” said Anoushey in an Instagram post.
“Don’t make children run the blade on the animal please. The qasai should be a thorough professional, if the animal experiences discomfort, pain and severe distress you’re doing it wrong. There are gentle manuals on it. The knives should be so sharp that the animal shouldn’t feel any pain,” she added.
The Saanp Seehri diva discouraged the trend of recording the sacrifice process.
