They keep on making noise (clucking) and causing us trouble'. In the complaint, it was explained that the 2-year-old child and the family were having trouble sleeping.

The tweet to Bangalore City Police Commissioner stated that this house owner is running chicken n duck farm right in our neighborhood (JP Nagar 8th phase next to Arya Hamsa Grande Apartment) and causing disturbance day and night due to crooning of roosters. Our 2- month old toddler is not able to sleep due to this. When I approached him he said I will keep them and I can go do what I want, including complain to police. Please help as this is really disturbing."

Later, the Talaghattapura station police called the techie and the farmer and interrogated them. Then the farmer said, "I have been rearing chickens for almost years. What is wrong with this? If the chickens cluck, what should I do about it?
