  "summary": "Mumbai Police have arrested a suspect in connection with the alleged killings of stray cats in the Govandi area. The suspect, identified as Shiva, reportedly confessed to the murders during questioning. The case was initiated after animal feeder Rubina Pathan filed a First Information Report (FIR) after finding dead cats in the Cama Wadi area. Police registered the FIR under Section 325 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, which covers mischief by killing, poisoning, maiming, or rendering useless any animal. PETA India had also offered a ₹50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrator.",
