Bengaluru: A noble gesture of feeding stray dogs landed a builder, his driver and another person in trouble as they were detained for over five hours at the Sampigehalli police station. on Friday.

The police acting on a complaint lodged by a Balaji picked up the 34-year-old Rohith Chandrashekar, his driver Asif and an autorickshaw driver were picked up by the police from MS Ramaiah North City, a gated community off Thanisandra Main Road, northeast Bengaluru, while they were feeding strays.

Since the last four years, Chandrashekar had been feeding around eight dogs twice daily — after midnight and before daybreak so as not to “disturb” anyone.

It is gathered that Balaji, a neighbor of Chandrashekar, had earlier complained to the Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA) many times. But the RWA backed Chandrashekar as he owns a house in the gated community unlike Balaji who is a tenant.
Since he did not get any favorable response from the RWA he approached the police who acted promptly on his complaint. According to Balaji the stray dogs were causing a manace in the locality and his daughter had suffered injuries while she was chased by the dogs.

Meanwhile, as per the guidelines issued by the Animal Welfare Board of India, which is a statutory advisory body, anyone can feed stray dogs. If someone throws stones at dogs or stops a person from feeding them, animal activists can complain to the board.
