Overview

• The late-night encounter occurred in Chennai’s Thiruvanmiyur, where a woman who has fed stray dogs in her lane for about two decades was stopped by two policemen.
• One officer, identified as Karthik, objected to her activity and advised her to stop feeding the animals for four days so they would stop coming.
• During the argument, both parties recorded video in which Karthik is heard saying harassment happens because people roam after midnight.
• Thiruvanmiyur police acknowledged the incident and reviewed it, and Karthik later told officials he had said arrest rather than harassment.
• Authorities have taken no disciplinary action against the officer and have closed the matter despite ongoing public criticism.
