MThank you so much for your detailed response. However, my heart truly sank reading it. Just an hour ago, the police pressured us into reaching a “settlement,” where we agreed to hand over the dog for 15 days, after which he would be returned. The understanding was that going forward, any visits would happen only by mutual consent.
Here’s what unfolded:
* We were first taken to a police station where a clearly biased officer insisted we give up the dog. When we refused, he called in a female officer who escorted us to the PSI’s office.
* There, I gave my statement and repeatedly requested to file a harassment complaint, but it was completely dismissed.
* Shortly after, the same men entered the office, and one of them directly threatened my friend, saying, “You won’t see another day.” When we reported this verbal threat, the officer pretended not to hear and instead kept urging us to “settle” the matter.
* I tried raising concerns about trespassing and intimidation, but after the officer spoke to the men, she stopped listening. Eventually, we reluctantly agreed to the temporary settlement and signed a document under pressure.
* What hurt the most was seeing those same men later sitting comfortably in the officer’s cabin, joking around, chatting casually for over 30 minutes. She even shared her personal number with them and talked about visiting their place for a meal. She subtly stated that if I engaged with the men further, I’d be seen as someone who puts in”false” harassment complaints.I returned home devastated without my dog, and with a heavy heart. I did everything I could, followed the process, and spoke my truth. But I was made to feel powerless in front of people who knew how to manipulate the system and charm their way through legal procedures. I’m heartbroken and disillusioned. I’m sorry I didn’t know the exact charges to press in the moment, they even threatended to take my dog into custody. It was tiring and I haven’t slept a day. I still want to raise a complaint against all officers present. Especially the female officers. I don’t know if he will be handed over after 15 days or not. I don’t expect him to come back. They all said I was getting too emotional and overreacting. She said it! I’m angry, tired, frustrated and heartbroken. I don’t know if I will see him again. I don’t know how they all won again even after doing it all wrong, even after I had all evidence.
