GUJRANWALA/ MULTAN:


Two men were arrested on Wednesday for trying to steal goats from a cattle market in Multan.  Police said some cattle vendors noticed a man untying a goat and taking it with him without the animal’s owner noticing him.

They caught him and his accomplice and beat him up. Some vendors said a day ago a goat went missing from the market. They speculated the two men had stolen it. The two men were handed over to Jalil Town police.
