A female camel named Kemi, who suffered a brutal attack in Sindh’s Sanghar district, is showing remarkable signs of recovery. The Animal Shelter Home, where Kemi is undergoing treatment, announced that she has managed to stand on her three legs for the first time since the incident, a significant milestone attributed to consistent massage and physical therapy over the past few weeks. Her injured leg is being meticulously treated with daily dressing and bandaging.
The harrowing incident occurred in Mund Jamrao village, where a landlord allegedly chopped off Kemi’s leg as punishment for scavenging his field for fodder. Kemi’s owner, Soomer Khan, expressed his distress, saying, “I have no enmity with anyone. I don’t know why this was done to my camel.”
The incident came to light after a video of Kemi with her severed leg went viral on social media, prompting widespread outrage. Sanghar Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) took immediate action, lodging an FIR against unknown persons under sections 429 and 34 of the Pakistan Penal Code. Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah intervened, ensuring Kemi received an artificial leg and was transferred to Karachi for further treatment.
On July 9, the Additional Sessions Judge granted bail to six accused individuals—Darya Khan Shar, Jaffer Butt, Abid Shar, Abdul Shakoor Shar, Gul Baig Lashari, and Rustam Shar—each released on surety bonds of Rs 200,000. During the investigation, two of the suspects, Abdul Shakoor Shar and Abid Shar, confessed to their crime. The case is scheduled for the next hearing on July 12.
Despite the trauma, Kemi is making significant progress due to the dedicated care she is receiving at the Animal Shelter Home. She continues to undergo daily treatment and physical therapy, and her recovery is closely monitored, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the tragedy.
