Miscreants Kill Colony’s Watchdog
Hyderabad: A pet Labrador was beaten to death by a gang of miscreants in Borabanda earlier this week. The seven-year-old home-bred male dog of the Labrador breed found dead in the morning by the family members of its master D. Dayanand Rao, correspondent at Talent High School in Rajnagar.
The dog became a part of the family and Jimmy got acquainted with other colony members, so much so it gained access to all homes.
However, in the past, the residents used to face trouble with a gang of around five alcohol addicts who troubled passersby at night by beating them, snatching away their mobiles, wallets, etc.
With Jimmy’s presence, these rogues could no more play around at night. They were biding their time to finish off Jimmy. Jimmy, the master said, would generally be tied up in the house during daytime. At nights, he would roam around, keeping a close watch over the colony.
The dog was thrashed with an iron rod by the miscreants. Dayanand left for Delhi to attend a conference on the day.
“Taking advantage of this situation, the gang attacked Jimmy with rods and stones. The attack severely injured its eyes and caused huge gashes in its forehead. When I returned home, Jimmy was missing. When I searched around, I found him sleeping in one of the houses in the colony, with bleeding injuries,” Mr Rao said.
The dog was immediately rushed to a veterinary hospital in Narayanguda.
“The doctor there said there was a slight chance of Jimmy’s recovery. In fact, he showed signs of recovery on Thursday, but collapsed and died at night the next day,” grief-stricken son of Dayanand, Ranveer said.
In his complaint, Mr Rao has named two residents, Y. Prabhakar and Nagaraju — and another unidentified person from the area as the culprits. A case under Section 429 of the IPC (killing or maiming of cattle or any other animal) has been registered.
“We have sent the body for an autopsy. Based on the report and the evidence collected from the scene, we will proceed,” SR Nagar Inspector Md Waheeduddin said.

A woman was killed and four other civilians were injured in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district as the Pakistan army intensified artillery fire across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, officials said, adding that a large number of houses have also been damaged in the cross-border shelling.
Reports state that a Pakistani shell struck the vehicle the woman was traveling in, resulting in her death. The woman was identified as Nargis Bashir, and some of her family members had boarded a vehicle to flee from the Razarwani village in Uri that was hit by the mortar and artillery shells from Pakistan.
In an attempt to educate and make people aware about the consequences of war amid Pakistan's continuous firing in the border states, the Delhi government did a mock drill to test air raid sirens installed at the Public Works Department (PWD) at ITO and asked people to not react out of panic.
District Magistrate (Central) G. Sudhakar also urged people to remain calm and not be alarmed when they hear the sirens.
At least twice, sirens sounded during the drill, which started at 3 pm.
PWD Minister Parvesh Verma said 40-50 more such sirens will be installed across the national capital, each of which will cover an area of 8 km.
Residents present in Rajouri along the Line of Control have started moving to safer areas after heavy cross-border shelling and attempted drone and missile attacks last night by Pakistan. All drone and missile attacks were intercepted and foiled by India's air defence system.

Pakistan has claimed that its Economic Affairs Division account on social media has been hacked and called the post where it appealed for more loans from the international community owing to losses from Operation Sindoor "fake."
In a post on X, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fact Checker shared a picture of the post and mentioned that it was "fake." Additionally, it asserted that the account had undergone hacking.
A missile-like object is found deep inside the Dal Lake after loud explosions were heard on Saturday morning in Srinagar, which is a major tourist attraction. The defense ministry also confirms that Pakistan has intruded into Srinagar's airspace in a press release.
Since the early hours of Saturday morning (10th May), Srinagar has been rocked with multiple explosions, and now electricity is taken off in various places across Kashmir. The reason for this is yet to be determined, as reports indicate multiple places in Kashmir have lost power. The Indian Army released a statement after the press briefing, where they mentioned that they have attacked and neutralized multiple terrorist launchpads in a coordinated fire assault, razing them to cinders.
