Police rescued 26 dogs from a private car during an operation in Bokolia Ghat in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district, raising concerns over the possible mistreatment and unsafe transportation of animals.
The vehicle, bearing registration number AS 07 P 6725, was intercepted during the operation, and the dogs were rescued. The incident has drawn attention to animal welfare concerns, particularly the need to ensure that animals are transported safely and humanely.
Preliminary information has linked a person named Niranjan Rongpi to the incident. However, his alleged involvement has not yet been established. Details regarding where the dogs were being transported from and their intended destination also remain unclear.
