The Director General of Wildlife has taken action against four Jallo Park Lahore staff members, suspending them and imposing a heavy fine in response to the reported theft of seven rare black deer on Thursday night. Although suspicions of staff involvement persist, there is currently no concrete evidence to support the allegations.

It's noteworthy that the park initially housed a total of 21 deer before the seven went missing. Officials claim to have recovered three black deer from fields near the park on Monday, but the remaining four are yet to be located.

This incident echoes a pattern of exotic animal disappearances from Lahore's zoos, as a few years ago, four female black deer were stolen from Lahore’s Safari Park Zoo.
