Bengaluru police are investigating allegations about the treatment of street dogs at Primecare Vet Hospital in Doddakannelli after authorities visited the clinic on September 8.
Whitefield Deputy Commissioner of Police Saidulu Adavath confirmed that a case had been registered and two veterinary doctors questioned, The Indian Express reported September 9.
Activists alleged that dogs were subjected to unauthorized orthopedic procedures. Their allegations are under investigation; questioning the clinicians doesn't establish wrongdoing.
What is known about the animals
Activists told The Indian Express that 12 dogs and a cat were found at the premises, with four street dogs moved for urgent treatment. The report also describes other treatment groups, but their overlap is unclear. Those figures shouldn't be added together.
The newspaper said clinic officials were unavailable when it sought comment.
