Pankaj's injuries from the assault are recorded in an official Medico-Legal Case (MLC) and medical examination at YCM Hospital, Pimpri — and the police's own letter referred him to hospital for a beating. The only person with documented injuries from that night is Pankaj.

The society's closed-circuit footage from the night has been obtained and certified under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. It is with the advocates and is being placed before the proper authorities. The footage corroborates the account given — including that the pet was safe on the terrace at the time of the assault.

The false allegation of a sexual nature concerning the pet was voluntarily disproven by an examination at the Aundh Government Veterinary Hospital, which found no abuse. The claim is, in any event, medically impossible.

To answer the claim of 'daily drugs and alcohol,' three months of hair samples have been voluntarily submitted for toxicological testing — a window that cannot be faked. Anyone repeating the claim is invited to take the same test. Laboratory results will be posted here when they return.

Next steps follow the law: pressing for registration of an FIR through the proper channels, ensuring the certified society CCTV is preserved, and letting due process run its course. Genuine milestones will be posted here as they happen.
