A gang of thieves struck a colony in Mayur Vihar on the night of February 28 and taking a cue from the movie Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye, drugged the street dogs before making a getaway with 30 car stereos.
Residents said that the street which the thieves targeted is known as the Kutton wali gali as dozens of stray dogs roam the area. "It is dangerous to walk in the area at night as stray dogs start barking. However, on that night the thieves got away as the dogs didn't bark. The miscreants were aware of the strays and had made sure they were drugged," said Tuli Gupta, a resident of DDA Flats, Pocket-II, Mayur Vihar. The thieves had broken into 30 cars and made away with accessories, including stereos and air conditioners.
The proof that the thieves had drugged the dogs came from the fact that the next day the residents discovered that one of the animals had died and another was unwell.
"While one dog had died another was found to be ill the day after the theft. Many stray dogs were found in an unconscious state the next morning. May be the thieves had fed them something so that they remained silent at night," said President of the Resident Welfare Association MK Kak.
However, the police do not buy the dog-drugging theory. "We are investigating but have not found any such evidence yet," said a senior police official of east district.
