Antony Abhijith Arrested in Thrissur while feeding stray dogs at Mannuthy Veterinary College. Is providing food to animals now a crime in Kerala, or is it a violation of campus security protocols?

In a significant development for animal welfare circles in Kerala, prominent activist Antony Abhijith was detained by the Mannuthy Police on the morning of February 19, 2026. The incident unfolded within the high-security grounds of the Mannuthy Veterinary College, Thrissur, where Abhijith was reportedly providing food to the local stray dog population.

The exclusive footage sent to BTF Productions showcases a tense standoff between the activist, campus security, and Thrissur police officers. While the police cited campus regulations and potential security risks as the rationale for the detention, Abhijith argued that feeding hungry animals is a humanitarian act protected under the framework of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.

This arrest comes at a time when the “Stray Dog Issue” in Kerala is a flashpoint for public debate. The detention of a high-profile rescuer like Antony Abhijith raises critical questions: Does an institution’s internal policy override the central laws of the land? Where is the line between maintaining order and suppressing animal rights activism?

Key Discussion Points:

1. The legality of feeding stray dogs in institutional areas in Kerala.
2. The confrontation between Thrissur Police and Antony Abhijith.
3. Mannuthy Veterinary College campus regulations vs. Animal Rights.
4. The immediate aftermath of the detention at Mannuthy PS.
