The police reported that the accused attempted to delete the CCTV footage capturing this horrifying incident.
The case was registered at the Misrod police station on October 12 after Nilesh Jaiswal, a resident of Kalapipal, suspected foul play in his dog’s death. He had sent his dog to the Alpha Dog Training Center in Sahara Colony, Bhopal, for four months of training.
Upon inquiring about his dog’s well-being after four months, the center informed Jaiswal that his dog had fallen ill and passed away.
Doubting the center’s explanation, Jaiswal filed a complaint with the police. An investigation was launched, and despite attempts to delete the CCTV footage, the police managed to recover footage from October 9, which clearly showed the dog’s brutal killing. The primary culprits, Neha Tiwari, Tarun Das, and Ravi Kushwaha, were all identified in the video.
The police have filed charges against them under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Animal Cruelty Act. The investigation is ongoing, and actions will be taken based on emerging evidence. The police have also informed the owners of the other dogs at the training center and involved a local NGO to assist in the recovery of the animals if their owners delay.
According to the authorities, further actions will be taken in response to additional complaints after a thorough investigation.
