Update on Hyderabad Husky attack case Five Arrested for Attack on Husky and Owner in Hyderabad Madhura Nagar police have arrested five individuals on charges of attempted murder and animal cruelty following an attack on a resident and his pet dog. The trouble began on May 8 when Srinath,... a resident of Rahmat Nagar, took his husky for a walk without a leash. The dog allegedly attacked Dhanunjay and his brother-in-law, Sai Kumar, prompting them to file a complaint with the local police. The situation escalated on May 14 when Srinath was again out with his dog. The husky reportedly barked at three neighbors. In retaliation, the trio, along with Dhanunjay and Sai Kumar, assaulted Srinath and his dog with sticks. Srinath's wife, who tried to intervene, was also injured. West Zone DCP Vijay Kumar commented, "Srinath and his wife suffered grievous injuries, along with their dog, and they are currently receiving treatment. The accused, who are their neighbors, have had ongoing disputes with the victims, culminating in this planned assault." The Madhura Nagar police have registered a case under Sections 147, 148, and 307 r/w 149 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 11(1) of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. The five suspects have been remanded to judicial custody. #Hyderabad #Huskiesshow more

It is sad that things have deteriorated to this extent. Why is the dog owner not charged for dog attacks ? Dogs do not belong to our society. They could attack for whatever reasons even though they may have been domesticated. The fact that it may have been vaccinated only addresses infection risk but the trauma and injury from dog attacks cannot be addressed. Obviously with all the video evidence and the hospitalisation police would have to take up the assault case but trust me this will go around in pet circles as a huge victory for pet owners. I know this from actually seeing this behaviour. Courts have also sided with them. It is unfathomable how human beings in society cannot be safe even from pets. Laws should restrict pets to homes of owners and every attack should lead to humongous costs to pet owners

Animal cruelty case needs to be filed on the pet owners first. Huskies are meant for cold weather and keeping them in the heat of Hyderabad is absolute cruelty. A husky has a thick double fur coat which helps it to stay insulated at temperatures of -30°C, keeping them in south India where average temperatures is +30°C it’s pure cruelty. If someone still doesn’t understand this, then try wearing thick winter clothes meant for -20°C from head to toe for 24hrs and try to live in the heat of 20-30°C. You can even stay inside AC room with 16°C setting, even then you will feel hot and uncomfortable with all that thick insulation, now that husky has to go through that 24/7 for 365 days.

Police inefficiency forced them to become criminals, had police reacted to their complaint they would've remained silent. This is what happens when people looses faith in our system, Its totally system failure.

Seee no cases on dog owner, that's Indian judiciary

The dog has died unfortunately. The whole situation could have been avoided ✅ if the dog owner firstly didn't own a Husky like Dog ✅ if he had been responsible with the dog and ✅ if police had done their job and booked the dog owner when the neighbours complained.

Better. As I said earlier, the brutal assault was uncalled for on family and the dog. The beating, did not look like an immediate response. It was a planned attack (as per CCTV). Thanks @sudhakarudumula for the update👍🏻

You can't imagine how helpless you feel after dog bite. Nobody will listen to you n if you make more noise you will be labelled as dog hater n very next day you will see the same person flaunting the dog in the same manner coz he is aware that dog is more precious than your life.

There should be FIR on police officials and dog owner too

Rabies is a highly fatal and infectious disease...anyone who gets bitten by dogs should be eligible for compensation legally. unfortunate that in india still many people still dying from rabies.. if you can afford to have a car you should afford insurance too. there should be a system to record such incidents and readily accessible public record so that repeat offenders can be identified...this person should be fined for not leashing and keeping the mouth of dog fitted when in public... dog lover myself but pet owners should understand the above measures of keeping pets leashed with closed mouths would stop spreading of rabies among the dogs itself and also spreading to humnans...poor pet owners can any way get free vaccinations for pets...its important to raise awareness about being responsible in a nation which is overcrowded and unsafe streets where most people would have limited access of roads when they are on road.

@myself_tanishka – Most of these pajeets shouldn't be let to have dogs, because they take little concern in other's legit concerns. If tears are to roll, blame the owner for this, and blame the domestication of foreign breeds.
