A woman Provincial Civil Services (PCS) officer in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, was allegedly molested, abused, and threatened with death after she tried to stop a man from brutally beating stray dogs near her residence.
The incident occurred on April 24 around 9:30 p.m. when the officer stepped out to feed street dogs, a routine she follows daily. She was shocked to see a man from her neighbourhood attacking the strays with sticks.
When she confronted him and objected to the cruelty, the man allegedly hurled abuses at her. The situation took a disturbing turn later when the accused, accompanied by his sons and several other men—some reportedly armed with pistols—came to her house and issued life threats.
The woman also alleged that the threats continued even in front of police officials at the local station. According to The Times of India, an FIR has been registered in the matter and police are actively investigating the allegations.
SHO Pankaj Mishra confirmed the FIR and told TOI, “The case was registered under BNS sections 110 (attempt to commit culpable homicide), 191-2 (rioting), and 325 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt), among others.”
The claims made by the officer are currently under verification.
