Bengaluru: A shocking case of animal cruelty has surfaced in the city, where a couple allegedly tortured and killed an adopted pet dog. The incident has led to a criminal case being registered against the duo at the Puttenahalli Police Station.
According to a complaint filed by A.S. Sharath Lal, an official with the Animal Welfare Board, the accused have been identified as Anubhav Kabra and his wife Kriti Lab.
In his complaint, Sharath Lal stated that in 2021, the couple had adopted a dog named Bongo from Swarnima Nishant, assuring her that they would take full responsibility for the pet’s care and well-being. However, on October 23, when Swarnima contacted Anubhav to inquire about the dog, she allegedly learned that Bongo had been subjected to cruelty and died as a result.
The complaint further alleges that the accused not only mistreated the dog but also caused inconvenience to the public by abandoning the animal’s remains inappropriately.
Sharath Lal has urged the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and initiate strict legal action against the accused under relevant provisions of the law.
Police confirmed that notices will be issued to Anubhav Kabra and Kriti Lab directing them to appear for inquiry regarding the allegations.
