Police officials confirmed that the suspects used to supply dead chicken to various inns in Lahore. Moreover, Shawarma and barbecue vendors also used to obtain chicken from these suppliers.

The arrested culprits confessed to supplying dead meat to Lahore on a daily basis.

According to Islamic tradition, meat must be slaughtered in a particular way to be considered halaal. Those animals which die before they have been slaughtered are therefore not considered fit for consumption.
