Target: Tejaswini Gautam, Superintendent of Police, Kota City, Rajasthan, India
Goal: Pursue the strongest charges and penalties available under law in a case where a community dog was reportedly burned with acid, and require counseling plus a long animal-ownership prohibition upon conviction.
A community dog was reportedly attacked with acid in Kunadi, leaving painful chemical burns and deep trauma. Police have registered a report, and the survivor has received veterinary care. Reports indicate that one woman is accused of throwing acid on the dog, an act that would reputedly fall under stringent provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Accounts describe extensive injuries consistent with chemical exposure. Skin was reportedly burned, wounds raw, pain obvious. The animal required urgent treatment and ongoing care. Such cruelty, if proven, reflects deliberate harm that no living being should endure.
Public safety also matters here. Research frequently links animal cruelty with broader violence. Sign below to demand a clear response that pairs accountability with prevention. Authorities should pursue maximum lawful penalties under BNS Section 325, seek a lengthy ban on keeping animals upon conviction, and order psychiatric evaluation plus counseling to reduce repeat harm.
PETITION LETTER:
Superintendent Gautam,
Reports from Kunadi describe a community dog burned in an acid attack. A report has been registered, and the survivor is receiving veterinary care. Witness and veterinary accounts point to deliberate chemical harm that caused severe suffering.
We respectfully urge your office to ensure a thorough investigation and to pursue the strongest charges and penalties supported by evidence, including under Section 325 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. We further ask that, upon conviction, prosecutors seek a long prohibition on animal ownership, court-ordered counseling, and restitution for medical costs.
Visible enforcement in a case like this can deter future violence and protect both animals and people. Please show that cruelty will not be minimized and that accountability, paired with rehabilitative measures where appropriate, will follow.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
