Probe at Lucknow Residence of Detained Doctor
In Lucknow, a combined team of the Anti-Terrorist Squad, local police, and central investigation units searched the Muttaqipur residence of Dr Shaheen Shahid who had earlier been arrested in relation to the Delhi explosion case. Officials collected documents and questioned her relatives and neighbors to understand her background. Her father Syed Ahmad Ansari expressed disbelief over her alleged involvement stating that his daughter had completed her medical studies in Allahabad now Prayagraj and had no known association with extremist groups.
Authorities believe Dr Shaheen may have had connections with Dr Muzammil from whom a large cache of explosives was seized earlier in Faridabad.
Muzammil was already wanted by Jammu and Kashmir Police in a separate case involving online posts supporting the banned militant group Jaish e Mohammed.
Family in Lakhimpur Kheri Claims Innocence of Detained Youth
In Lakhimpur Kheri, the family of Mohammad Suhail who was detained by Gujarat ATS from Banaskantha district on suspicion of terror activities claimed he had been wrongfully implicated. Suhail lived in Singahi town with his parents and siblings and had been pursuing religious education at a madrassa in Muzaffarnagar for the last three years. His mother said he was a calm and disciplined student who had never engaged in any unlawful behavior. She added that he last visited home during Bakrid in June and later informed his sister that he was on vacation in Gujarat.
The family’s modest house has been under police watch since his detention though authorities confirmed that no criminal record of Suhail exists in the district. His father and younger brother both work as mechanics.
Investigations Continue in Saharanpur Over Suspected Links
In Saharanpur, investigators are examining the background of another accused, Dr Adil Ahmad, who was arrested on November 7 by Jammu and Kashmir Police with the support of local authorities. Adil, originally from Anantnag in Jammu and Kashmir, had been staying in Bapu Vihar Colony on Ambala Road while working at Famous Hospital for the past six months. Locals described him as quiet and private though his home often saw late night visitors and vehicles parked outside.
He had previously worked at another private hospital in the city where the management stated he had always been polite and dedicated to his patients showing no signs of suspicious behavior. The case against Adil emerged after posters supporting Jaish e Mohammed appeared in parts of Srinagar and CCTV footage allegedly captured him putting them up. Following electronic surveillance, his location was traced to Saharanpur where he was taken into custody from the hospital and handed over to Srinagar Police. The hospital has since removed his name from its records.
Joint teams from Jammu and Kashmir Police, Uttar Pradesh ATS, and central agencies are continuing inquiries in Saharanpur to identify any associates or local links that could connect Adil with others involved in the Delhi blast.
Statewide Security on High Alert
Following the explosion in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh Police have increased security across the state conducting intensive checks in busy areas such as markets, metro stations, shopping centers, railway stations, and bus terminals. Bomb disposal squads and dog units have been deployed at sensitive locations to prevent further incidents.
A senior police officer stated that continuous patrolling has been ordered in all major districts and the state remains on high alert until further notice. The enhanced vigilance covers cities including Lucknow, Noida, Ghaziabad, Meerut, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Ayodhya, Mathura Vrindavan, Gorakhpur, Kanpur, Saharanpur, and Aligarh.
Among the twelve victims of the Delhi blast, four individuals identified so far were residents of Uttar Pradesh—Ashok Kumar from Amroha, Nauman Ansari from Shamli, Mohsin from Meerut, and Dinesh Mishra from Shravasti—while another victim, Shiva Jaiswal from Deoria, is undergoing treatment for injuries.

]]>The post Supreme Court Orders Aggressive Sterilisation to Control Stray Dog Population: A Landmark Verdict Ensures Public Safety & Animal Welfare appeared first on The Edge Media.
]]>In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court of India on Friday directed authorities across the country to implement aggressive sterilisation programs under the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules to curb the alarming rise in stray dog populations and reduce rabies-related fatalities.The court has ordered the release of the dog on its native spot after sterilization, quashing the judgement given on the 11th August verdict by the two judge bench of the SC.
The three judge bench, headed by Justice Vikram Nath along with, Justices Sandeep Mehta and N.V. Anjaria, ruled that rapidly increasing stray dog numbers have created a serious public safety concern, particularly for children and elderly citizens.
Judgement Copy –
41706_2025_3_1501_63567_Judgement_22-Aug-2025
The court observed that cities like Dehradun and Lucknow—which—reported a steady decline in stray dog numbers, proving the effectiveness of such programs.
Key Highlights of the Supreme Court Verdict
Aggressive Sterilisation Mandated:
- Authorities must intensify sterilisation efforts under the ABC Rules to control population growth.
Chemical Castration Approved:
- The court noted chemical castration is a safe, painless, and effective sterilisation method and encouraged its adoption nationwide.
Modified August 11 Order:
- The bench softened an earlier directive that prohibited releasing vaccinated stray dogs in Delhi-NCR. Now, sterilised and de-wormed dogs must be released back instead of being permanently confined.
Focus on Rabies Prevention:
- Highlighting rabies-related deaths, the court stressed the urgent need for mass sterilisation to minimize risks to human life.
Balancing Human & Animal Rights:
- While prioritizing public safety, the ruling also safeguards the right to life of stray dogs by prohibiting unnecessary culling or confinement.
Court’s Stand on Public Safety & Animal Welfare
- The verdict stems from a suo motu case initiated on July 28, following alarming reports of rabies-related deaths caused by stray dog bites in the national capital.
Quoting the bench:
“It is indisputable that human beings bitten by rabid dogs suffer indescribably, and many times, the infection proves fatal. Aggressive sterilisation would definitely curb the rapid growth of stray dog population, ultimately leading to its reduction.”
The court also clarified that authorities must ensure proper vaccination, sterilisation, and de-worming before releasing stray dogs to the streets, thereby ensuring safer neighborhoods while maintaining ecological balance.
Impact of the Verdict
This ruling is set to reshape India’s animal birth control strategy, paving the way for:
- Nationwide sterilisation campaigns
- Fewer rabies infections and dog-bite cases
- A balanced approach between public safety and animal rights
- Uniform implementation of ABC Rules across states
The Supreme Court’s proactive stance is expected to reduce stray dog populations significantly over the next few years and ensure safer public spaces.
