The incident occurred at 7.44am on Oct 16, according to a complaint filed by a 35-year-old resident. Avalahally police registered a case against the driver under Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and BNS Section 325 (mischief by killing or maiming an animal). The resident referred to a similar incident reported by locals about a month earlier on another road, in which a puppy died due to a driver’s negligence.
However, the driver is said to have ignored their warnings. Bengaluru: A stray puppy was run over twice allegedly by a garbage collection vehicle despite repeated warnings from onlookers in Konadasapura village near Virgonagar in east Bengaluru. This triggered outrage among residents who suspect the incident may not have been accidental. The puppy was sitting by the roadside when a mini-garbage collection vehicle allegedly struck it and ran over it. Residents who witnessed the incident shouted repeatedly at the driver to stop after noticing the puppy trapped beneath the vehicle.
She urged police to examine the earlier incident as well.
Questioning whether the incident was merely an accident, she sought an impartial investigation and appropriate legal action against the driver.
