THE QUINTWar & conflict

Along with 40 CRPF personnel who were martryed, around 13 sniffer dogs were also killed in the Pulwama attack.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The claim concerned the 14 February 2019 Pulwama attack: a viral message said that 13 sniffer dogs died alongside the CRPF personnel. The Quint reports that a CRPF official rejected that specific claim, saying no sniffer dogs were killed and that the convoy was transporting only personnel. The review’s account of the attack describes a CRPF convoy of 78 vehicles carrying 2,547 personnel, attacked at Awantipora in Pulwama district. It says two buses were hit hardest, including one carrying 39 personnel. These details describe the convoy and casualties but do not indicate dogs were present; the direct basis for rejecting the dog-death claim is the official’s confirmation reported by The Quint. The review also notes that the original social-media post had been deleted. It does not describe a separate investigation of the post’s origin or provide additional evidence about the dogs. Its conclusion is therefore supported in the excerpt by the CRPF official’s specific denial, rather than by a detailed account of independent verification.
