GILGIT: 

As the highly-lucrative trophy hunting season continues in Gilgit-Baltistan, police arrested a man for illegally shooting an ibex.

Noor Khan hunted an ibex measuring 25 inches on the horn on Monday in Bar Valley of Hunza-Nagar district, a resident told sources on Tuesday.

According to another resident, community representatives informed wildlife officials and police about the unlicensed hunting.

“They raided his house on Tuesday morning and arrested him,” he said. “His gun was also confiscated.”

Khan was summoned before a court of law and sentenced to a month in prison as per wildlife regulations. The meat of the ibex was subsequently auctioned by the relevant authorities.

Wildlife department officials in the region confirmed the hunting.

“This is an unfortunate incident,” Shabirullah, a wildlife department official, told a media outlet. “However, the silver lining is that the hunter has been sent to prison by a magistrate.”
