The court sent a man from Karachi, to prison for conning people by painting stray dogs and selling them as expensive breeds though online channels.

According to the details of the incident provided, the man has been identified as Sagheer, who is a resident of Khamosh Colony and a barber by profession. He was arrested by the North Nazimabad police on the complaints of the people, and on Monday was produced in front of the judge.

“He was arrested on a citizen’s complaint that he sold stray dogs at a high price, claiming them to be of a special breed,” said North Nazimabad DSP Naeem Khan.

Sagheer was arrested after a complaint was filed against him by Riazuddin, who had been sold stray dogs.

“I saw the advertisement on On Line eXchange (OLX) and decided to buy the dogs. I contacted Sagheer and made a deal with him. He sold one dog for Rs50,000. When the dogs were delivered to me, I gave them a bath, subsequently, the colour on their skin started to come off,” the complainant told the police. Riazuddin was not the only victim of fraud as several others had also been conned by him.

Sagheer did not act alone as his brother-in-law also helped him in this illegal business. When the police raided his house, they recovered four stray dogs from his possession, which he claimed were German shepherds.

DSP Naeem Khan said that Sagheer was produced before a court on Monday and sent to jail. “He has been arrested under Section 420 (fraud) of the Pakistan Penal Code under a bailable offence and can be bailed” DSP Khan added. “But the police are looking for his companions.” A case had been registered and further investigation is under way.
