Bizarre theft: Woman lodges case against brothers for 'stealing' cattle dung

In a bizarre theft, a woman in Punjab's Muzaffargarh district has lodged a case against seven suspects including her two brothers for allegedly stealing dung worth thousands of rupees, it emerged on Monday.  

Police in the suburban area of Rangpur in Muzaffargarh have registered the first information report (FIR) of fecal material theft on the complaint of woman identified as Nagina Mai. 

According to the police, the woman alleged that the cattle dung, piled in front of her house, was stolen by her brothers early morning on January 31 through a tractor trolley.

Nagina Mai stated the manure stolen by her brothers was worth Rs35,000. 

A case against the five named and two unidentified suspected burglars has been registered on the complaint of the woman.

Moreover, the Rangpur police said that of the suspects had been arrested after they seized a tractor-trolley loaded with the stolen manure. 

Such bizarre cases of robbery are an infrequent occurrence in Pakistan. Last year in April, police in Punjab’s Layyah arrested a suspect for allegedly stealing clothes from a tailor’s shop.

The police said the suspect was observing Itikaf at a local mosque when he was taken into custody.

They added that the suspect along with his accomplice stole suits from the tailor’s shop in Moti Bazar of the city.

At least 12 suits stolen from the shop were also recovered from the suspect, the law enforcers added.
