In the precincts of Mahbubnagar in Telangana, an enigmatic occurrence unfolded as an indeterminate number of perpetrators ruthlessly terminated the lives of nearly 20 stray canines. The malefactors, shrouded in anonymity, executed this grievous act on the nocturnal canvas of Ponnakalu village in the Addakula mandal of Mahbubnagar district. The inscrutable assailants, maneuvering a vehicular apparatus, brandished firearms to perpetrate the atrocity, leaving behind a grisly tableau.

The disconcerting tableau was discovered on the morrow, reported to the authorities by vigilant witnesses. The aftermath unveiled a somber scene – 20 lifeless canines and five others languishing in distress. Law enforcement and local denizens stand perplexed, grappling with the inexplicable intrusion into their nocturnal tranquility, questioning the raison d’être behind the assailants’ nefarious deeds.

A contingent led by Inspector Rajendra Prasad from Mahabubnagar meticulously combed the locus of the malevolent act, seeking clues and unraveling the cryptic elements of the incident. Subsequently, Addakula Station Sub-Inspector Srinivasulu meticulously gathered intelligence from the affected villagers.

The investigation endeavors to fathom the motive that impelled this canine massacre, employing forensic scrutiny on the discovered spent cartridges. The cadaverous canines underwent post-mortem examination under the aegis of the animal husbandry department, unearthing potential signs of not only bullet-inflicted demise but also suspicion of poisoning. The labyrinth of inquiries continues, with a veterinary officer administering care to the surviving quintet of injured dogs.

The Bhootpur Circle Inspector Ramakrishna elucidated that a legal dossier, invoking Section 429 of the IPC (pertaining to the slaughter or maiming of animals) and pertinent clauses from the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and Arms Act, has been initiated based on the grievance filed by Ponnakal Secretary Vijayaramaraju.

This macabre incident, shrouded in intrigue, prompts a conscientious pursuit of justice, with the community clamoring for answers to the baffling question – why did the nocturnal marauders unleash such brutality upon the unsuspecting canine inhabitants of Ponnakalu village?
