    (PETA) has written a letter to the Delhi Police, a week after a dozen dogs were
    killed in Delhi’s Jamia Nagar area.



    In its
    complaint, PETA stated that some minor boys brutally treated dogs and killed
    half a dozen of them in the Jamia Nagar area of the national capital.



    In response
    to the complaint, police officers stated that they had received a report from
    PETA alleging that some minors in Delhi's Jamia region were violently torturing
    dogs and killing half a dozen of them.



    According to
    ANI, police stated, "There is only one male child who has been
    identified." On the spot, no dog carcass was discovered. The process to apprehend
    CCL u/s 429 IPC has started because the miscreant is a minor. " (sic)



    Following
    PETA's complaint, police claimed they had initiated an inquiry, but no FIR had
    been filed.



    Two
    complaints were received regarding the killing of stray dogs at the Joga Bai
    Jhuggi neighborhood in Jamia Nagar from Divya, a member of the Karan Puri
    organization, and Bhargeswar Doley of PETA India. The complainant and police
    identified the concerned jhuggi at Joga Bai after receiving the complaint.



    One minor
    boy aged 10 to 12 years has been identified by police, although he was not
    present at the time of inspection at Jhuggi. There was no dog carcass found on
    the scene, and no eyewitness came forward to give testimony.



    It may be
    mentioned that the complainant had provided a photo and video of a dead dog,
    but the location could not be identified from the video. Moreover, no one is
    seen killing the dog in the video clip.



    Notably, the
    complainant has been asked for more videos to identify the place and accused
    persons involved in the incident.
