Upon inspection, police discovered four slaughtered dogs packed inside the bag. Preliminary investigations suggest the meat was being transported to a roadside market where it was intended to be roasted and sold to unsuspecting consumers.
The motorcycle rider and his passenger were taken into custody to assist with investigations. Authorities are working to establish the source of the dogs and whether the suspects are part of a larger network involved in the illegal slaughter and sale of dog meat.
Police have warned members of the public against engaging in the sale of uninspected meat, noting that such practices pose serious public health risks. The seized carcasses were handed over to relevant authorities for further examination and disposal.
