An endangered Markhor was shot and injured by a tourist in Chitral’s picturesque valley, according to ARY News.
The animal was struck by a bullet and fell into a river near the Garam Chasma road, according to officials from the KP wildlife department. They claimed that it was retrieved from the river after frantic efforts.
KP MPA Faisal Amin Khan said on Twitter that a first information report (FIR) has been filed against the perpetrators at the Chitral police station, adding that all attempts will be made to apprehend them.
“Today, I was at “Shahr e Sham” Chitral with our guests to see the beautiful and innocent Markhors come down to the river every afternoon,” he said in response to a tweet that linked to a social media user’s post.
