Target: Jitender, Director General of Police, Telangana State Police, Hyderabad, India
Goal: Identify and prosecute any individuals allegedly poisoning community dogs through contaminated food sources across rural districts.
A major animal cruelty investigation intensified after dozens of community dogs were discovered dead near residential areas on the outskirts of Hyderabad. Animal welfare volunteers monitoring local stray populations say they found carcasses scattered near garbage dumping sites before immediately notifying regional authorities.
Initial examinations indicated that the dogs suffered painful deaths marked by severe foaming at the mouth, suggesting possible toxic exposure. Residents fear that the deaths may be connected to an organized poisoning campaign intended to illegally remove stray dogs outside lawful animal-control procedures. Police subsequently registered a criminal case under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act against unidentified suspects.
Forensic teams collected tissue samples from the deceased animals while investigators reviewed local merchant records connected to possible bulk chemical purchases. Animal welfare advocates warn that deliberate poisoning campaigns may cause agonizing deaths involving seizures, respiratory collapse and organ failure.
