Another animal cruelty incident has come up in Tricity area. More than 30 dogs were allegedly attacked with acid, sticks and machete at an animal shelter in Nandiali village near Airport Road on Tuesday.
Resham Dhaliwal, the owner of the shelter, Protection and Care for Animals (PACFA), claimed that the dogs were brutally beaten up and then acid was thrown at them.
However, police who were informed of the incident denied that the dogs were attacked.
Dhaliwal said, “I am running the shelter inside a rented space. Dharminder, a servant at the owner’s house came and attacked the dogs under the influence of alcohol with three others. The owners asked me to vacate the house a fortnight ago.”

She named three men, Balwinder Singh, his son Jimmy and Dharminder and claimed that they attacked the dogs with sticks, axe and acid.
Police has not registered any case
She further claimed that she was assaulted by the trio and the police did not register a case against them even though she lodged a complaint.
Sohana station house officer Rajan Parwinder Singh said, “We are looking into the incident and we did not find anything to substantiate that the dogs were attacked or even injured.”
Police said the owner of the shelter, Resham Dhaliwal, came to them after she had an argument with her landlord.
“It is possibly a dispute between landlord and tenant. No case was registered.”
Dhaliwal keeps stray dogs at the home and also keeps dogs whose owners are away.
