Target: Ankit Goyal, Superintendent of Police, Pune, India
Goal: Identify and prosecute any individual found to have attacked a community dog with acid and reportedly causing life-threatening chemical burns.
A horrifying animal cruelty investigation intensified after a community dog was discovered suffering from extensive chemical burns near a residential complex in Maval, Pune. Residents found the animal in severe agony and immediately contacted local animal welfare volunteers for emergency assistance.
The dog was rushed to a veterinary clinic, where doctors began urgent treatment for widespread skin destruction and injuries reportedly consistent with chemical exposure. Police later registered a First Information Report against unidentified individuals under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage while attempting to identify the individuals responsible for the reported attack. Animal welfare advocates warn that chemical attacks may cause prolonged agony, tissue destruction, infection, shock, and permanent physical damage for surviving animals.
Immediate identification, arrest, and prosecution are necessary to help protect community animals from similar reported attacks.
