Chandni, the female camel whose leg was severed in a brutal attack in Sukkur’s Salehpat area earlier this month, is now out of danger and regaining consciousness after a successful surgery, officials said.

Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah received a detailed medical report on Chandni’s condition from Sindh Livestock Secretary Kazim Jatoi.

According to the report, a team of veterinarians, Dr. Javed Khuhso, Dr. Zulfiqar Otho, and Dr. Ali Gopan, carried out a three-hour operation during which her fractured jaw was repaired and her severely damaged right hind leg amputated.

The surgery was performed without blood loss, officials confirmed.

Chandni is expected to start eating soft food within two days and resume normal feeding in three to five weeks. Her treatment has now entered the recovery and rehabilitation phase.

CM Shah directed that the “best possible medical care” be provided and said experts would be consulted to fit Chandni with an artificial leg once her condition stabilises.

The camel was subjected to shocking cruelty after drinking from a pond, when assailants attacked her with axes, hacked off her hind leg, broke her jaw, and allegedly dragged her with a tractor, leaving multiple injuries.

Police have arrested one suspect, Qurban Brohi, while efforts are ongoing to apprehend the other two accused, Umar Malik and Rasool Bakhsh Sheikh.
