A four-year-old Ammu, a female stray dog that grew up among the residents of Lane No. 3, Krishnanagar, off Tumkur Road, have cast a pall of gloom over this locality of mostly ex-servicemen. On March 15, her litter of eight was mercilessly flung onto the boulders, allegedly by Ponnamma, the wife of an ex-honorary flight lieutenant, a resident of this Jallahalli West neighbourhood. This she did reportedly to "teach the dog a lesson", who had dared to have puppies in a drain under her gate. The police have seized crucial footage from a CCTV camera near Ponnamma's house. The Peenya police have registered a case under Section 93 of the Karnataka Police Act (punishment for cruelty to animals) and Section 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and IPC Section 429. If proved guilty, she could end up in prison for up to five years. "Cupa has lodged a complaint, but justice is still a long way off for this mother," said, Suparna B Ganguly, honorary secretary at the NGO. The complaint explained how "a woman in our street" flung eight pups across the road on to an empty site opposite to her house, killing them all. The impact was such that "some of the pups' intestines were out". The residents wrote that they were distressed by the sight of the mother that wouldn't stop wailing and trying to "wake them up, running around us asking for help, trying to show us." Residents are haunted by the memory of the dog digging her 15-day-old puppies out of their graves and trying to nurse them.Five days since the incident, Ammu still wanders around the site where her puppies are buried, who had littered 15 days ago in a gutter, beneath the entry gate of Ponnamma's house. "When people asked her how she could kill innocent puppies, and that she had no right to do it, she said - SHE WANTED TO TEACH THE MOTHER A LESSON SO THAT SHE DOESNT LITTER OR COME NEAR HER HOUSE, told a resident. What's worse is that Ponnamma is remorseless. "When people asked her about it, she just said, achcha nahi laga, fek diya (DIDN'T LIKE IT, THREW IT). The accused was arrested and RELEASED ON BAIL. We have procured CCTV footage and are putting together evidence. The investigation is on and the chargesheet will be submitted," said B Aiyanna Redddy, police inspector.
