Horrific dog killing on campus of Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

I am pasting below an account by a student of one of India's premier

institutions, the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, who was an

eyewitness to what happened in room 248 of Kaveri Hostel, JNU in the

pre-dawn hours of July 8, 2008. The other students were so sickened

that one called the police, another called Maneka Gandhi (an animal

rights activist who is part of the Nehru-Gandhi family), one wrote

this account and emailed it, others did a signature campaign. So this

info is from these students, the insiders.

 

 

 

" FROM A STUDENT WHO KNEW KALI, THE DOG WHO WAS MURDERED

 

" There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls

and one such night was Monday when Kali, an eight year old female

Indian Street Dog was brutally robbed off her life at JNU Campus, New

Delhi

Kali never knew any comforts because eight years ago she was born and

raised on the unforgiving streets by a doting mother called Leela that

gave birth to her in the bushy interiors near Kaveri Hostel on JNU

Campus. They suffered the cold of the winter and the heat of the

summer and had little to eat but yet they were happy. Little Kali

would often be bullied and stoned by the rogue and rowdy boys of

Kaveri hostel yet she never complained and would quickly forget her

bruises and tormentors to go foraging with Leela to the nearest

dumpster.

" Years went by and life was sailing through until a few Naga boys

moved into the Kaveri Hostel, an event that would plague Kali's life

forever.

" The Naga boys had a blatant disregard towards both Kali and Leela and

awaited an opportune moment to slice and stew them both for a

licentious feast of dog-meat. Thus in the fall of 2006 they executed

their intentions by lynching Leela who was an ageing bitch. Leela was

ambushed and assaulted till she succumbed to her mortal injuries, the

Naga boys were all set to exploit their culinary interests from her

carcass but had to abruptly abort as their butchery began to draw

crowds. Fearing an uproar, a cover up act ensued jointly authored by

the Hostel management and the Naga folks, to silence all eloquence

they posthumously labeled Leela falsely as an aggressive dog and

justified the gruesome slaughter, hours later Leela's corpse was

shoved into a sac and placed near the same dumpster where she and Kali

used to go and forage, Kali sat orphaned next to her mother's

mutilated corpse until Vatavaran an NGO took the carrion away.

" History repeated itself on July 8, 2008 when in the wee hours of the

morning i.e. 2 a.m. Yoronso, a 30 year old notorious Naga man pursuing

his Ph.D form JNU's School Of Social Science, (Centre for Political

Studies) and occupant of Room # 248 Kaveri Hostel invited over two of

his friends who spotted Kali sitting near the staircase and

instantaneously developed a longing to consume her flesh. To hatch

their heinous scheme they lured Kali with a Parle G biscuit to

Yoronso's room (Room # 248) and once inside they bolted the room from

within, Yoronso then fed Kali some rice that he had gotten from the

hostel mess downstairs and once Kali was done having it, he wrapped

around Kali's snout two torn " Duppattas " . Kali unsuspecting of the

crimes that were to take place was busy thanking Yoronso and his

friends for that Parle G biscuit and rice dish they let her have but

suddenly Yoronso began to bludgeon her with a cricket bat and soon his

friends joined in with a curtain rods.

 

" This battering prolonged for almost an hour and when Kali was

sufficiently dazed owing to the relentless beating then Yoronso

plunged his knife into her and began to sever her while she was still

alive, kicking and writhing in agonizing pain and continuing to

breathe in ragged gasps as she kept blinking slowly.

" Next 20 minutes Yoronso mercilessly dismembered her limb after limb

while she still kept alive and mortifyingly watched the horrors and

butchery being performed on her. Yoronso's friend then brought a brick

and began to smash Kali's skull with that and resultantly Kali

succumbed.

" The commotion of this sordid crime was enough to shatter the peace of

the hostel sending students and wardens scurrying towards the scene of

crime. Yoronso and his accomplices were caught red-handed and the

bystanders were nauseated to witness the degree of cruelty involved.

Some of the students were so overwhelmed to see that enormous pool of

blood and Kali's maimed body that they called the Police but the

Hostel Wardens were quick to dissuade them and staged another cover up

by destroying the evidence i.e. Kali's corpse, murder weapons etc. The

Police did arrive but as expected conducted their hallmark slipshod

investigations and made no attempt to nab the culprits or secure the

prima facie evidence

" With the apparent laxity of Police and Wardens the matter would have

easily died down had one student not called up Mrs. Maneka Gandhi who

then intervened. On learning that Mrs. Gandhi has been informed the

warden casually issued a letter to Yoronso asking him to vacate his

hostel accommodation. Yoronso is due to submit his Ph.D on 21st July

2008 and was already in the process of vacating his room prior to this

tragic event which he perpetrated thus Warden's action can only be

termed as adding insult to injury but understandably so because the

Wardens at JNU are a cowardly bunch of self-serving narcissists,

spineless sycophants who eschew controversy and pathetically

ingratiate themselves with administrators and are normalized into

silence and conformity in order to win their bid for tenure. So to

expect stern action from them is mythical.

" I would like to mention here that this is not an isolated incident

but a periodical event which recurrently takes place on JNU Campus as

demonic north-eastern boys gather amidst a beer induced bravado and

haul up street dogs that are later mercilessly decimated and

barbecued. Adding to our sequence of grief JNU Administration is

consciously aware of these hideous acts and yet they remain

inconsiderate. "
