Students and walkers at Osmania University were panic struck on Monday after they sighted a fresh grave mound near the College of Engineering.
A few students alerted the police after they came across it among dried leaves, with garland, flowers and flowers on the stretch behind EC hostel-1.
“The grave was of a pet dog,” the police later said.
According to an OU police official, the burial was done by a resident from the colony located along the campus limits. They accessed the place through the narrow Shivalayam route.
“The pet died three days ago. They only wanted to give it a dignified burial, and the place was chosen because it is covered with trees and has no people activity,” the official said.
