Outraged over the incident, several .mal activists approached the police demanding action against the culprits. According to a Deccan Chronicle report, Jawaharnagar police arrested four persons for beating the dogs to death.
According to the police, all four accused work as laborers. The accused have been identified as Narsapuram Krishna, Mangadi Krishna, Chintala Venkatesh, and Vatti Vupendra.
The incident occurred amid a series of street dog attacks in various parts of the state, prompting the Telangana High Court to intervene and request an action plan from the state government in July to prevent such incidents.
In August, a four-year-old boy died after being bitten by a street dog in Raipole village, Rangareddy. In a separate incident that month, an elderly woman was killed by a pack of street dogs, which then ate parts of her body, in Rajanna Sircilla district.
