A Pakistani fisherman in Karachi who sold a large quantity of odd fish at auction and discovered that the fish had multiple medical applications became a billionaire overnight.
Haji Baloch was a fisherman who made his home in Karachi, which is a city on the coast of Pakistan. He had no idea how significantly one catch would alter the course of his life.
The People’s PTI reports that Baloch and his friends from Ibrahim Hyderi’s fishing village captured “Sowa,” the Arabian Sea’s golden fish. Pakistan Fishermen Folk Forum member Mubarak Khan said the entire cargo was auctioned off Friday at the Karachi dock for seven crore rupees. This was the final sale price.
