Islamabad: A neighbour’s complaint about a Chinese family cooking bats in Islamabad proved unfounded when a quick probe by the authorities on Thursday found fried chicken and fish hanging from a wire.
A joint team of the District Administration of Islamabad and the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB) visited a Chinese family’s house in Islamabad after a social media user posted pictures of what he claimed were ‘roasted bats’ hanging from a wire inside a house. He claimed this could cause spread of coronavirus and urged the district administration, health authorities and police to take swift action.
However, all the ‘claims’ turned out to be fake and the ‘bats’ in fact were ‘fried fish’ and ‘roasted chicken.’
