Hyderabad, March 4 -- A case has been registered against a man after Hyderabad traffic police caught an ambulance transporting a pet dog with sirens blaring near Panjagutta on Tuesday afternoon, March 4.

The accused has been identified as Lakshminarayana.

During a special drive against ambulance misuse, police stopped the speeding vehicle and found a caged dog inside instead of a patient. The driver admitted that he was taking the dog from Himayathnagar to Ivy Hospital in Madinaguda for a neutering procedure.

Unable to justify the use of sirens for a non-emergency, the driver was left speechless. Police seized the ambulance and registered a case against him.
