Nagpur: In a shocking act of cruelty, an iron rod was found lodged in the head of a stray dog at Narhari Nagar–Shubhangi Nagar area, near Manewada-Besa Road, on Wednesday afternoon.
The incident, which occurred around 1.30pm, has sparked widespread outrage among animal lovers and citizens alike.
The dog, with the construction-grade metal rod pierced deep into its skull, was seen running around frantically in pain through the locality. Concerned residents alerted Save Speechless, a city-based animal welfare organization. Founder Smita Mire, along with her team, rushed to the scene and safely took the injured dog into custody for emergency medical aid.
"This was not an accident — someone intentionally drove the construction rod into the dog's head," said Mire. "It was a horrifying sight. The rod had gone 2.25 inches deep, piercing near the brain. The moment our vets began the removal process, the dog started bleeding from the nose, indicating nerve trauma. Despite this, the surgery was successful."
Mire added that when she arrived around 2pm, the dog was screaming in pain, bleeding profusely, and running helplessly.

"Yet, it didn't attack or resist. It was just terrified and in agony. We managed to stabilize him post-surgery, but the next 48 hours are crucial for recovery," she said.
The organization is preparing to file a formal police complaint under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. This comes close on the heels of another disturbing case in Sugat Nagar, where a man lured a dog with biscuits and then brutally beat it, breaking its limbs. That case, too, led to a police complaint.

PG medical student arrested for hoax bomb threat to skip seminar in Mangaluru

MANGALURU: The Mangaluru City police arrested a postgraduate medical student for making a hoax bomb threat to a private hospital under Ullal Police Station limits. The accused has been identified as Dr Chalasani Monica Choudary. City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy CH stated that the preliminary investigation revealed the accused was scheduled to present a seminar on the day of the incident. In an attempt to avoid the presentation, she allegedly made a hoax call to the hospital.

The hospital reportedly received at least five such calls. Following the alert, around 25 to 30 police personnel, including members of the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) and dog squad, rushed to the spot and thoroughly searched the hospital, its parking facility, and surrounding areas.

'Electricity theft' case: Allahabad HC orders restoration of power supply at Sambhal MP Barq's home; calls Rs 1.91 crore fine 'arbitrary'

Zia Ur Rehman Barq (File photo) NEW DELHI: The Allahabad high court has directed the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL) to restore power supply at the house of Samajwadi Party 's (SP) Lok Sabha member from Sambhal, Zia Ur Rehman Barq. A division bench of justices Saumitra Dayal Singh and Sandeep Jain, passed the order on a writ petition by Barq in the electricity theft case . It also described as "arbitrary," UPPCL's Rs 1.91 crore fine on the SP leader over allegations of electricity theft. "Submission is that even if the inspection report and adverse facts allegedly found therein are accepted, no jurisdiction arose with the respondent authorities to make assessment for a period of 12 years," the court observed in its June 4 order, according to news agency PTI. "The maximum period for which assessment may have been made could not exceed one year. By breaching the statutory period of assessment, wholly unnatural and arbitrary demand of Rs 1 crore and 91 lakhs has been raised. The petitioner cannot be made to deposit 50% of such illegal demand to maintain an appeal," it added. However, the bench asked Barq to deposit a permissible amount of Rs. 6 lakhs to maintain his appeal, giving him two weeks to do so. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Through his lawyer, he submitted he is willing to deposit the money. The court then granted UPPCL three weeks to file its reply in the matter and fixed the next hearing for July 2. In December 2024, the electricity department imposed the penalty on Barq following an inspection at his residence in Sambhal's Deepa Sarai area, where officials allegedly discovered the power theft. Separately, the politician faces charges of inciting violence in Sambhal during protests related to a court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid in November last year.
