Yesterday, when videos of the cat running along a road and scaling a wall in Islamabad’s Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Phase II neighbourhood went viral on social media, authorities spent hours trying to catch the cat.
According to a tweet from the Islamabad Police, the Sahala Police Station, which has jurisdiction over DHA Phase II, has arrested an unnamed suspect for attempted murder under section 324 and animal cruelty under section 289 of the Pakistan Criminal Code.
The cops said that the leopard was a pet in an unidentified person’s house. A second tweet stated that “the suspect endangered the lives of residents by maintaining hazardous animals.” “The accused is still being sought; legal action will be taken once we have him in custody,”
ملزم نے خطرناک جانور رکھ کر شہریوں کی زندگی کو خطرے میں ڈالا۔ ملزم کی تلاش جاری ہے، جلد گرفتار کرکے قانونی کارروائی کی جائے گی۔
