A shocking case of animal cruelty has emerged from Rajasthan's Jhunjhunu district where more than 25 dogs were shot dead on 2nd and 3rd August. The incident came to light after a disturbing video went viral on social media, prompting police action.
The incident occurred in Kumawas village under the Nawalgarh area, where an individual was seen roaming with a gun and shooting dogs on sight. The viral video shows the accused firing at dogs, with their blood-soaked carcasses later found scattered across the village.
Police swung into action on 4th August after receiving information about the viral video. Head Constable Shubhkaran was immediately dispatched to Kumawas village for investigation.
According to police, Shyochand Bawariya, son of Surajaram Bawariya, a resident of Dumra village, has been identified as the main accused. A case has been registered against him, and police have assured that arrests will be made soon as the investigation continues.
Saroj Jhanjariya, former sarpanch of Hamiri Kalan village, met with the Superintendent of Police and filed a detailed complaint. In her complaint, she alleged that accused Shyochand has mercilessly killed 25 dogs over the past few days.
According to reports, former sarpanch dismissed the accused's claims that the dogs had killed his goats, stating that the dogs had neither harmed anyone nor killed any livestock. She accused Shyochand and his associates of fabricating the "dead goats" excuse to demand compensation, revealing their malicious intent.
Jhanjariya expressed suspicions that this could be part of a premeditated conspiracy, noting that the same group had visited the village five months earlier under similar circumstances.
