Daredevil sniffer dog \u2018Surya\u2019 who served Nagpur Police for decade passes away<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The \u2018sun\u2019 has finally \u2018set\u2019 on a glorious life of a Labrador, Surya, the sniffer dog who had provided a decade-long impeccable service to Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) Nagpur Police. Surya breathed last on Tuesday. He succumbed to the prolonged Kidney related issues, says Head Constable Sunil Kakde with teary eyes, who had adopted Surya after his retirement on December 30, 2018. In his 10 years of service with BDDS, Surya had achieved remarkable feats. This canine trailed and caught many criminals with ease. The grateful Nagpur Police have extended their last salute to this \u2018fast and furious\u2019 BDDS member who detected and prevented explosive tragedies umpteen times. Born in January 2008, Surya was inducted into Nagpur Police force when he was just 2-month old. However, his health suddenly took a hit with Gastro. He was admitted for three days and had to be treated for 15 more days. Dr Dhakate who treated Surya had said that Surya would not survive. Though the doctor\u2019s words stunned cops, however; Surya, on the contrary, made a fast recovery and since then had hardly fallen ill. Later Surya was taken to Pune\u2019s Bomb Dog Centre for six-month training. After the training, Surya became a master in the BDDS in detecting hidden explosives. Usually, after retirement the police dogs are adopted by pet lovers or NGOs working for animals. However, the dog handler Head Constable Sunil Kakde had adopted Surya after his retirement and also performed his last rites and buried him. \u201cWith his growing age, Surya looked somewhat frail but was full of energy. Surya, who was with the police force almost since his birth, had become our family member. After the sniffer dog\u2019s retirement, I adopted him and took care of him till breathed last,\u201d said Kakde, \u201cHe left an immense void in my life that I doubt will ever be filled,\u201d he added with teary eyes. Recalling her lost colleague at BDDS, Senior Police Inspector (Mankapur) Vaijayanti Mandavdhare said that, \u201cI was the first Woman Police Inspector of BDDS when got privileged to work with Surya\u201d she says and added, \u201cSurya was darling of the police force. He was very clever, of peaceful nature but used to turn ferocious when it comes to criminals!\u201d I\u2019m gonna miss him, said PI Mandavdhare. \u201cOur brave officer Surya had helped us to crack numerous cases and also averted many untoward incidents in a professional manner. Nagpur Department has saden by the news of Surya\u2019s departure,\u201d said Nagpur Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar while expressing his greif.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Died – 1\/4\/22 Daredevil sniffer dog \u2018Surya\u2019 who served Nagpur Police for decade passes away The \u2018sun\u2019 has finally \u2018set\u2019 on a glorious life of a Labrador, Surya, the sniffer dog who had provided a decade-long impeccable service to Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) Nagpur Police.
