After Islamabad and Battagram, donkey meat has now been recovered from a village near Kasur.
According to reports, acting on a tip-off from intelligence agencies, police conducted a raid in Kotli Rai Abu Bakar, a village on the outskirts of Kasur. One suspect was arrested on the spot while three others managed to escape.
Authorities seized several maunds of meat and registered a case, with investigations still underway.
This comes days after a similar operation in the Kuzabanda area of Battagram district, where a slaughtered donkey was seized. Two suspects from Hunza and Mansehra were taken into custody during a raid carried out by the Additional Assistant Commissioner and a Food Inspector, following a tip-off.
Earlier, in a major crackdown on illegal meat trade, the Islamabad Food Authority recovered nearly 1,000kg of donkey meat from a farmhouse in Tarnol. Over 50 live donkeys were also found on the site, and a foreign national was arrested.
Authorities say such operations will continue to eliminate the illegal meat trade and protect public health.
