In an era of engineered headlines, Sankshay Babber has emerged as a high-stakes whistleblower. Through his landmark "Asli Mudda" (The Real Issue) press conference, Babber has pivoted from grassroots activism to dismantling a sophisticated system of administrative fraud and systemic cruelty.
Using Right to Information (RTI) data, Babber reveals that the "stray dog menace" is not a biological crisis, but a manufactured distraction designed to mask the embezzlement of billions in public funds.
1. The "5-Vaccine Scam": Fabricating a Crisis
The centerpiece of the exposé is the revelation of how dog bite statistics are artificially inflated to create public hysteria.
Statistical Manipulation: Standard medical protocol requires a five-dose course of the Anti-Rabies Vaccine (ARV). RTI findings show that many municipal records log each dose as a separate "bite" incident, quintupling the perceived threat overnight.
Misclassification: Scratches from cats, monkey bites, and even non-animal injuries (like scraping against a rusty gate) are often categorized as "dog bites" to justify the release of free vaccines.
The Rabies Myth: Despite social media panic, official records show zero rabies deaths in major hubs like Delhi, Mumbai, and Goa since 2022. This reveals a massive gulf between "perceived threat" and "statistical reality."
2. The Missing Billions: Cui Bono?
If the menace is manufactured, who benefits? Babber points directly to the mismanagement of the Animal Birth Control (ABC) program.
While crores of taxpayer money are allocated for sterilization, municipal bodies face allegations of gross negligence. Babber argues the rising dog population is a failure of governance, not nature. The lack of implementation of the ABC Rules, 2023, allows certain officials to profit from a problem that is never intended to be solved.
The "Death Trap" Shelters
Babber warns against the push for permanent shelters, labeling them "concentration camps for canines."
The Cost: Building these facilities in Delhi alone would cost an estimated ₹15,000 crores.
The Comparison: This figure exceeds Delhi's entire annual health budget.
3. The Digital General: A Constitutional Defense
Babber has transformed the role of an advocate into a "digital general," defending Article 51A(g) of the Indian Constitution, which mandates compassion for all living creatures.
He serves as a deterrent against vigilante mobs who use misinterpreted judicial orders to justify:
Illegal relocation
Poisoning
Brutal beatings
For Babber, the "License to Kill" mentality in residential societies is a symptom of a deeper societal rot that he aims to excise through transparency.
4. The Horizon: Asli Mudda 2.0
While "Asli Mudda 1.0" exposed financial and clerical fraud, Babber is now teasing 2.0, which will explore the psychological link between animal cruelty and human-on-human crimes, such as psychopathy and domestic violence.
"We are being asked to bankrupt our healthcare system to fund a solution that doesn't work, while the real perpetrators of mismanagement walk free." — Sankshay Babber
Conclusion: A Call for Accountability
India stands at a crossroads. We can succumb to manufactured fear or look at the hard data. The truth is documented in RTI files; the question is whether the public will demand accountability for the lost and the lives ruined by this deception.
