A unique and a bizarre argument was put up by Assistant Commissioner Saleem while announcing the sentence stating "The dog injured the child, hence, it should be killed."
The dog's owner has filed an appeal with the Additional Deputy Commissioner against the peculiar punishment "The affected child's family registered a case against my dog, following which it completed a one-week prison sentence. Any further punishment for it would be unfair," Geo TV quoted the dog's owner, as saying.
