Stray dog rumours fuel Hyderabad mob attack, cops allegedly refuse complaint
By the time a man claiming to be a local councillor in Hyderabad's Ameenpur walked into the bloodied aftermath of a mob assault as a mediator on August 5, a 31-year-old woman and her friend were already shaken and injured. But what the mediator allegedly told them cut just as deep as the blows they had endured: "Tumhe jo bhi legal action lena hai le lo. Hum dekh lenge." (Whatever legal action you have to take, take it — we will see.)advertisementFor Panchami Bhattacharjee, who has spent three years feeding and caring for stray dogs in PJR Enclave, Miyapur, it was a moment of chilling clarity — that the violence they had suffered on the street might be only the confrontation began a few minutes earlier, at around 9 am, when dogcatchers from a private agency in Vanasthalipuram — nearly 50 kilometers from the area — arrived in their lane. Out of seven dogs they targeted, four had already been neutered by Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) officials. Panchami and her friend Karan Surail began asking for the official directive and assurance of humane treatment.A local man and woman soon intervened, accusing the dogs of being a menace, citing a fatal dog attack. But the case they referred to had taken place a month earlier in Neredmet, kilometres away. "They couldn't give any detail of any dog bite incident here," Panchami told India Today couple left. Moments later, the pair were surrounded by 25 to 30 visuals. Viewer discretion advised View this post on Instagram A post shared by Panchami Bhattacharjee (@___tallgirlsurviving___)While Karan engaged three aggressive men in conversation, Panchami tried speaking to she spoke with her back turned to Karan, one of the three men he was talking to came from behind, pulled her hair, and threw her to the ground, beating her.'He caught me by the hair from behind and threw me on the road,' she Karan — whose back was also turned to Panchami — was alerted by her screams and looked behind, he intervened. However, he was soon overpowered.'When I got up, I saw Karan on the ground with six men kicking him. I pulled him back.'The beating stopped only when Panchami began screaming hysterically and Karan's face was covered in blood. No one from the crowd intervened. That's when the councillor appeared and issued his warning.A FOUR-HOUR WAIT FOR HELPAt 9:30 am, Panchami called the emergency number. Responders initially refused to come for a 'dog incident.' Only when she said she was being beaten did they agree — but minutes before arrival, they claimed the area fell under Ameenpur police and backed police arrived at 1 pm. "They said there was already a case against us. Officer Ramachandar K asked, 'What is your relationship with your friend?' and left after five minutes," she delay, police claimed, was due to a shift change, according to Panchami. No woman officer was sent, she further later asked for all video evidence but have given no update. Even after Archana Hospital filed medico-legal cases with Chanda Nagar police over the physical assault, there has been no and her friend Karan went to the Patancheru police station today, which has jurisdiction over the Ameenpur police station. However, the DSP-ranked officer there was accompanied by an official from the Ameenpur police station — the same one Panchami had allegedly approached earlier for a follow-up without to both victims, the DSP-ranked officer still refused to register a case, completely ignoring the fact that a woman had been beaten up. 'All he said was that the locals were acting out of fear of a possible dog-bite incident in the future,' Panchami further Today Online reached out to the Hyderabad Police, who have yet to respond to the MEETS INACTIONPanchami says the attack shows how misinformation — in this case, an unrelated dog attack from another part of the city — can be weaponised. But what has stayed with her more than the violence itself is the message sent by those in power and those tasked with upholding the law."One news report from far away was enough to turn a crowd against us," she said."But the real damage was knowing that the police delayed, questioned us instead of investigating the case and pursuing justice, and that a councillor made it clear we'd have to fight this alone," a morose Panchami and Karan incident came to light as the Supreme Court formed a three-judge bench to review the issue of stray dogs in the Delhi-NCR region, amid outrage from animal welfare activists and NGOs over its earlier order.- EndsMust Watch
