These camels were part of a total of 97 camels rescued by police on November 9 from a duo who had brought them from Rajasthan for the purpose of slaughtering, Balapur police station Sub-Inspector S Vishnuvardhan Reddy said.
The camels, found in a cramped space in a local premises with their legs tied, were handed over by the police to the civic authorities and two animal rescue organisations.
Forty-one camels from the lot of 97 died due to, among other reasons, the harsh conditions in which they were brought in by the arrested accused, he said.
