On August 22, protests began at Delhi's Rohini Sector 27 dog shelter after the Supreme Court modified its previous order. The animal rights activists claimed cruelty, poor record-keeping and the discovery of dog bones in nearby areas. In its modified order, the SC directed stray dogs be released post-sterilization, vaccination and deworming, except for rabid or aggressive animals.

While shelter officials denied any wrongdoing, stating that all 113 dogs in their care were healthy, activists accused that the number of dogs in the facility was higher. A volunteer told Outlook that that after the SC order, they were denied entry in the shelter and were told they would need a separate order from the MCD.

Shelter management stated that the hospital was now caught between administrative hurdles and pressure from animal rights activists. Dr. Rajeev Kumar, who manages the Rohini centre said that “the bone remains could be buried by other shelter homes in the vicinity.”
