Mahabubnagar police have arrested three men from Hyderabad in connection with a shoot-out that resulted in the death of 20 stray dogs and severe injuries to six others in Telangana’s Ponakkal village. The main accused, 57-year-old Narasimha Reddy, is alleged to have masterminded the entire incident. According to Mahabubnagar SP Harshvardhan, Reddy sought revenge after his in-laws’ pet dog, Mintu, was killed by stray dogs in early February. Reddy, along with his friends Mohammad Tareeq (44) and Aareq Ahmed (40), traveled from Hyderabad to Ponakkal to carry out the act. Tareeq, a professional shooter, used his licensed gun in the shoot-out. The incident occurred in the early hours of February 16, when the accused drove around the village and opened fire on stray dogs. The incident shocked the village, but police were able to find three eyewitnesses who led cops to the accused. Telangana Shocker: 20 Stray Dogs Shot Dead by Masked Men in Mahbubnagar, Investigation Underway.
