In a brutal act of animal cruelty that has sent shockwaves through a rural community in Sindh, a landlord severed the leg of a cow with an axe following a dispute over crop damage. The horrific incident occurred on Tuesday in village Ghulam Hussain Bohrio, Taluka Jati, within the district of Sujawal.
A Vicious Attack Over Tomato Crops
The conflict began when a cow reportedly wandered into and damaged a tomato field that was ready for harvest. The owner of the field, identified as landlord Arabi Boriho, reacted with extreme violence. Instead of seeking compensation through local dispute resolution methods, Boriho allegedly took an axe and chopped off one of the animal's hind legs.
The mutilated cow was left bleeding profusely and suffering in extreme pain, a sight that horrified local residents. This act of vengeance against a defenseless animal has highlighted deep-seated tensions in the area.
Owner's Plea for Justice at Jati Press Club
In response to the atrocity, the cow's rightful owner, Ghulam Hussain Bohrio, took a stand. He organized a press conference at the local Press Club in Jati town to bring the incident to public light. Accompanied by other concerned villagers, Bohrio narrated the painful ordeal of the animal and described the atmosphere of fear the event has created in the community.
During the press conference, the group made a direct appeal to the senior superintendent of police (SSP) in Sujawal. They urged the official to take immediate notice of the case and ensure that legal action is taken against the perpetrator. Their demand is clear: an FIR must be registered against Arabi Boriho for this act of animal cruelty.
Community Outcry and Legal Repercussions
The incident has sparked outrage and debate within the village and beyond. Such extreme violence against livestock, which holds significant cultural and economic value in rural Pakistan, is seen as a severe transgression. The villagers' public appeal to the police underscores their demand for accountability and the rule of law, even in matters involving powerful local figures.
This case raises critical questions about conflict resolution, animal rights, and the influence of local power dynamics in rural Sindh. The community now waits to see if their plea for justice will result in concrete legal steps against the accused landlord.
