As per the recent media reports by The Hindu, some residents of the apartment allegedly noticed Dr. Ballal going inside his apartment and slamming the door shut. Some residents went to question him while others rushed the dog to a hospital, where the animal succumbed to its injuries.

Further investigation into the doctor's background revealed a potentially alarming pattern. In 2022, while pursuing his PG in surgery in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, the doctor was allegedly involved in the death of another stray dog. The incident occurred on August 7, 2022, and was brought to the attention of the police by an NGO, People for Animals, after CCTV footage showed Dr. Ballal grabbing a dog by the neck.

According to TNIE, the Madhya Pradesh High Court, however, quashed the FIR against him on April 26, 2024, on the grounds that the FIR was filed only on the basis of apprehension and “not on the basis of any concrete evidence”.

The Adugodi police have registered an FIR and stated that they will summon the doctor for questioning.
