Target: Y. Raghuvamshi, IPS, Superintendent of Police, Jalpaiguri district, West Bengal, India
Goal: Ensure full investigation and legal accountability after a puppy was allegedly beaten, bound, suffocated, and removed to an unknown location.
A deeply disturbing incident has emerged in which a community puppy was allegedly injured, cruelly captured, and forced into a sack by two individuals before being taken away to an unknown destination. According to a complaint, the puppy was beaten with a stick, its mouth bound tightly with rope in a manner that severely restricted breathing or sound, and the frightened animal was then sealed inside a sack and removed. Authorities are attempting to locate the missing puppy or its body, raising urgent concern about the animal’s fate.
Legal provisions classify the maiming or killing of an animal as a cognisable offence carrying potential imprisonment or fines. An official report has been registered following intervention by animal welfare advocates, indicating that the alleged conduct is being formally examined under applicable animal protection laws. Research and advocacy organizations warn that individuals who commit cruelty toward animals may pose broader risks to public safety, underscoring the seriousness of such allegations.
Violence severe enough to leave a puppy injured, bound, and missing demands decisive investigation and meaningful enforcement of animal protection statutes. Strong legal action wherever evidence supports violations is essential to safeguard vulnerable animals and deter future cruelty. This petition therefore calls for full investigation and appropriate prosecution consistent with the gravity of the alleged harm.
PETITION LETTER:
SP Raghuvamshi,
We write to express grave concern regarding reports that a community puppy was beaten, tightly bound, forced into a sack, and removed to an unknown location. Available accounts indicate that the animal’s mouth was restrained in a way that may have restricted breathing or cries for help, and authorities are still attempting to determine the puppy’s whereabouts or fate.
An official complaint has been registered under laws addressing cruelty toward animals, reflecting the seriousness of the reported conduct. Because the actions reportedly involve violence, restraint, and disappearance of a vulnerable animal, the matter raises urgent concerns about enforcement, deterrence, and community safety.
We respectfully urge your office to conduct a thorough investigation and to pursue appropriate legal action wherever evidence supports the violations. Firm enforcement is essential to protect animals, reinforce accountability, and help prevent future acts of cruelty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
