In a new development around the bizarre case of a donkey’s arrest in Pakistan, a local court has now released the animal. The donkey had been taken into custody after a case of illegal gambling was slapped on the animal. The eight men arrested in the case along with the donkey have also been released on bail.
The one-of-its-kind incident took place in the Rahim Yar Khan region of Punjab province over the last weekend. The provincial police had then apprehended eight men accused of gambling on the outcomes of a donkey race and in doing so, they had arrested the donkey too.
The donkey, which found its name in the FIR, and its handlers were reportedly in possession of 120,000 Pakistan Rupees in cash. Speaking to media, the police officials had then said that the suspects were using the money to bet on a donkey race. The cops also added that all the suspects, including the animal, were arrested on the basis of ‘prevention of gambling ordinance’ adding that investigations were underway.

Exporting donkeys to China
The donkey’s arrest comes at a time when the beast of burden is unprecedentedly important to the Imran Khan government. Export of donkeys to China for their barbaric use in traditional Chinese medicine is somewhat of a ‘cash crop’ in Pakistan; however, its efforts to meet China’s demand has proved unsustainable as the donkey population has steadily dwindled in the country.
However, as per the latest reports, there has been a recent rebound in the population, and as a result, news channels were seen holding celebratory debates amid Pakistan’s perennial debt woes.
