Farmer Pankaj Shukla shot dog dead, bailed out: activist Priyanshu Jain objects demands charges under Arms Act 25

Enraged over barking, a farmer had shot a dog and was arrested for the same by Banganga police station. However, the farmer was bailed out soon after the arrest and freed with his arms. 

The farmer Pankaj Shukla said the dog used to bark near his home and had also bitten several people, which enraged him. 

“Though he could not give names or any other details of such incidents,” Banganga police station in charge Rajendra Soni said.

"Shukla used his licenced gun to shoot the animal on Saturday, and the firearm and two empty cartridges have been recovered. We are writing to the district administration to cancel Shukla's gun licence," Soni said.

Shukla was arrested on the basis of a complaint from Priyanshu Jain, animal activist and MP police centre against animal cruelties coordinator. Shukla was arrested and charged under sections of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and IPC.

“We had sought charges under Arms Act 25, as a person despite having license cannot freely go around shooting living beings,” Priyanshu said. Sadly, as Shukla was not charged under the act, he easily got bailed out. 

“In a recent incident that we had come across, where a farmer shot a blackbuck in Rewa, he was charged under Arms Act 25,” Priyanshu cited. She added that being easy on such cases can increase the crime rate and allow more cruelties against animals and maybe even humans soon. 

“We have to understand that every life form is important and we cannot just lose our temper and start shooting everyone dead!” Priyanshu said.
