In a distressing instance of cruelty towards animals, a street dog was fatally shot by an assailant in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. The gruesome act came to light on February 26 and was promptly reported to the local authorities at the Sanjeevani Nagar police station, highlighting the urgent need for action in the Badda Dada Ground vicinity under the Dhanvantari Nagar outpost jurisdiction.
An urgent complaint was lodged by Anita Sharma, a dedicated NGO worker, after discovering the grievous harm inflicted on the dog. This led to an immediate investigation by the police to uncover the perpetrator. A thorough post-mortem was conducted to determine the exact cause of the street dog’s death, marking a critical step in the investigation.
The community was shaken when the details of the dog’s condition on February 26 emerged. Sharma, who had been caring for the dog at Badda Dada Maidan, rushed the severely ill animal to a veterinary clinic for emergency treatment. A revealing X-ray showed a bullet in the dog’s abdomen, pointing to the cruel circumstances of its suffering.
Sharma recounted her efforts over the past week, providing care for the dog at Badda Dada Ground, only to find it unresponsive upon her next visit. She immediately transported the dog to a vet, where it was ultimately pronounced dead, a loss that has resonated deeply with animal lovers and activists alike. The police, led by Vikrant Pathak of the Dhanvantari Nagar outpost, have formally registered a case based on Sharma’s complaint and are conducting a detailed probe into this heinous act. This incident has sparked a call for justice and heightened awareness around animal cruelty, urging the community and authorities to come together to prevent such tragedies in the future.
