Nagarkurnool police have opened a case following allegations that 100 stray dogs were killed in Thimmaipally village of Charakonda mandal. This case is part of a troubling trend of mass dog killings across Telangana. An animal rights activist filed the complaint, reporting these mass killings. Police say they found only 10 to 15 dog carcasses during initial checks. These carcasses have been sent for postmortem to find the cause of death. The case was registered on Tuesday against the village sarpanch, the panchayat secretary, and others. The accused face charges under Section 325 combined with Section 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and Section 11 (1)(a) of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. This law punishes killing or poisoning animals by multiple people. This event happens amid a series of similar mass dog killings reported in various Telangana districts in December and January. Activists say nearly 1,200 dogs have been killed across the state during this period. Further investigation into the case is ongoing.
