Horse Deaths Mount as Custody Case Delays in Jabalpur
A group of horses were moved from Hyderabad to a new place, but many have died while waiting for a court case to end.
The horses were supposed to be cared for by other groups, but this hasn't happened because of the collector.
The official reports show fewer deaths than some people believe.
The case is dragging on because of delays.
People are upset because the horses are dying and no one seems to be taking responsibility.
The next court date is in October.
Twelve horses transported from Hyderabad to Jabalpur have died amid a custody case.
The horses were moved under the charge of Sachin Tiwari for Hithanet India Pvt. Ltd.
The Turf Authority of India (TAI) had planned for Hyderabad and Mumbai race clubs to take responsibility but transfer is blocked.
Animal welfare advocates claim the situation is worse than official reports suggest.
The case is ongoing, with the next court date scheduled for October 9.
