A butcher in Pakistan was today sentenced to thirty days in prison by a court for selling sub-standard meat allegedly imported from India.
A court of Deputy Commissioner in northwest Pakistan sentenced the butcher under the Maintenance of Public Order.
The officials of Khyber Pakthunkhwa Food Safety and Halal Food Authority had arrested the butcher named Waqas during a raid on his compound and recovered 400 kilogramme of liver meat imported from India.
The butcher used to add artificial colour into liver and hearts of animals to give it a fresh look.
The food authority has confiscated hundreds of kilogramme of substandard meat few days ago from the same locality.
