Karnataka High Court Permits Probe into Disappearance of 21 Stray Dogs from DRDO Campus
The Karnataka High Court has allowed the investigation into the disappearance of 21 stray dogs from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) township in Kaggadasapura to continue, lifting an earlier stay. The court protected two DRDO officials named in the case from harassment or coercive action, while directing them to cooperate with the probe. Authorities were ordered to complete the inquiry within six weeks and submit a report. The case arose from complaints alleging ill-treatment and unethical capture of the dogs, whose whereabouts remain unknown.
