KARACHI – A heart-wrenching incident surfaced in the Sindh capital, as a minor boy was dragged to death by a furious bull ahead of Eid ul Adha.
As people across Pakistan are buying animals ahead of the Festival of Sacrifice to commemorate Sunnat e Ibrahimi, experts warn of extreme caution as some of these animals, especially bulls and camels are capable to kill humans.
In a recent incident in Sector 11-G area of port city, a 12-year-old boy identified as Ibrahim was dragged to death by a raging bull. A CCTV clip of the incident surfaced on social sites, showing the four-legged animal running frantically while the boy was entangled in the rope.
