In a horrific incident, at least 20 dos were found to be poisoned in Uttar Pradesh's Mahoba after some people allegedly got fed up of the dogs. The incident occurred in a village named Basaura in the Shrinagar area. Village head Sukhnandan Prajapati has lodged an FIR with police against unidentified persons in connection with the same.
