Roosters cram police stations in East Godavari

Many police stations in East Godavari district are currently filled up with the roosters seized from various cockfight arenas during the recent Sankranti festivities.

This is an annual phenomenon and for the police the birds are guests as well as the accused.

The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, allows the police to seize the roosters and arrest their owners and organisers of cockfights.
