Sangha members rushed to the spot and shifted the dogs to a veterinary hospital,” said Naveena, who filed the complaint.A probe confirmed the dogs were poisoned. CCTV footage showed the miscreants feeding the dogs biscuits, bread and leftover food, which were suspected to be laced with poison.“The dogs would bark at strangers at night.
