A bull bought for the
Muslim Eid al-Adha festival
charged through a posh
shopping mall in the Bangladesh
capital Dhaka Monday,
causing panic and damaging
several shops.
.
No one was hurt in the incident which took
place in the city’s Gulshan diplomatic area.
Guards captured the bull in a net
and handed it back to its owners,
police and witnesses said.
.
Parts of the Bangladesh capital,
a city of 11 million people, have turned into
cattle markets ahead of Eid on Tuesday,
when officials say up to 2.5 million bulls
and goats would be slaughtered
across the city.
Slaughtering animals and sharing
meat with relatives and the poor
are mandatory for every Muslim
who can afford it.
