Deputy Commissioner (DC) Islamabad Mohammad Hamza Shafqaat has said that the complaint regarding the incident of a cat hanging in a house is ‘fake’.
“Complaint regarding cat incident turned out to be fake after investigation,” DC Islamabad wrote in a tweet.
He went on to add, “The person who shared the picture misguided. Owner of the cat also submitted statement that it was her collar. No torture found. All hype was for nothing.”
Hamza also said that they have apologised to the person.
A social media user inquired about the cat is alive, to which Hamza replied, “She had an anccident and has left the world for a better place.”
Earlier, the police arrested former bureaucrat, Abdul Qayyum, after a dead cat was found hanging in his house located in Bahira Town. He was later released.
The accused denied the accusations but the police suspected the statement given by the accused is false, adding: “Cats are not usually found with ropes around their neck.”
