The FIR stated that while a female dog's body was found inside the trust premises that night, four heavily decomposed bags were pulled from the water the next morning by the fire brigade, and the bodies of five dogs — two females and three males — were dispatched to the civic veterinary hospital for a post-mortem examination.
