A Delhi court has mandated a new investigation into the case of two community dogs that have been missing from outside Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi since April 2. The order was issued by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Pranav Joshi on April 29, who expressed dissatisfaction with the police's previous efforts, labeling their reports as 'inadequate' and indicating a lack of thoroughness in the investigation. The complainant, Rashmi Sharma, a dog feeder, reported that the dogs were forcibly relocated by airport staff, a claim supported by a video that circulated on social media. The court noted that despite the passage of more than a month and a half, police had not shown sufficient interest in determining the dogs' fate or their current location. The court highlighted the need for a comprehensive inquiry, especially since the incident involved potential misconduct by airport staff. The next hearing is set for May 11, when the police are expected to provide an update on their investigation.
