“I called up a veterinary doctor and on his advice shifted the two dogs to a private veterinary hospital for treatment. One of the dogs died while undergoing treatment while the other is in critical condition. The dogs were healthy until the GHMC dog catchers picked them up. Their death was result of cruelty meted out to the animas,” said Vardhanamma in his complaint.
