NAVDEEP SINGH'S HORRIFIC ANIMAL ABUSE IN STOCKPORT REVEALED

Navdeep Singh, also known as Rozer Sandhu or Navdeep Singh Sandhu, born August 1984, residing at 37 Culver Road, Stockport SK3 8PG, has been found guilty of severe animal cruelty offenses. His case has drawn significant attention due to the shocking conditions in which he kept multiple dogs and cats at his property in Stockport.

Singh, who publicly claimed to be a TikTok star and had gained some notoriety online, faced charges under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. The allegations stemmed from the deplorable state of the animals housed at his home, which included French bulldogs and Bengal cats. Authorities uncovered the extent of the neglect after an inspection prompted by previous warnings issued to Singh.

During the investigation, RSPCA inspectors, accompanied by police officers, visited Singh’s residence. They discovered four French bulldogs in a yard heavily contaminated with faeces, creating an unsanitary and hazardous environment for the animals. Additionally, four puppies, all underweight and suffering from malnutrition, were found in a garage. These puppies had bones that were clearly visible through their skin, indicating severe neglect and poor health.

Despite prior warnings from the RSPCA to clean up the yard and cattery, Singh failed to take any corrective action. The inspectors observed that the yard was in a filthy state, with rubbish, torn cardboard, and faeces scattered around. The puppies were kept in such poor conditions that their health was critically compromised.

Further inspection revealed five Bengal cats housed in an outdoor aviary in the back garden. The enclosure was exposed to the elements, with temperatures soaring as high as 36°C during a heatwave. The cats were kept in four separate rooms within the aviary, with no access to clean water. Inspector Beth Fazakerley described the scene as extremely distressing, noting the oppressive heat and the animals’ suffering.

Inspector Fazakerley recounted her experience: “The first thing I noticed as I walked through the main door of the aviary was the extreme heat – within seconds I was sweating profusely and just walking around was uncomfortable. I took the temperature on my temperature gun and in the cleanest area for the cats it reached 36°C. It was cooler in the rear, but there was virtually nowhere for the cats to lie down that was comfortable and clean from faeces and urine. Throughout the enclosure, there was straw, piles of rubbish, empty bin bags, old food wrappers, and a heat lamp switched on in a crate.”

Another RSPCA inspector, Heather Morris, testified that Singh had claimed to be making substantial money from his TikTok videos. She added that Singh admitted he was not providing adequate care for the animals, citing his busy schedule and plans to sell his house due to a breakup with his girlfriend.

All animals at the property were seized and taken to Greater Manchester Animal Hospital for treatment. Singh later signed over ownership of the puppies and two litters of kittens born after the cats were removed. A veterinary report confirmed that all four puppies were severely underweight, with a body condition score of just one out of nine, where four or five is considered healthy. The report also highlighted the dangerous heat conditions in the cats’ enclosure, which could have had fatal consequences, especially for the Bengal cats kept in the hot, waterless environment.

The veterinarian emphasized that French bulldogs are particularly vulnerable to heat stroke due to their brachycephalic (flat-faced) conformation. The report stated: “It is clear the cats’ accommodation was excessively hot and would have had a negative impact on these animals, particularly as they had no access to water. While the temperatures measured in the puppies’ accommodation were within the acceptable range, French bulldogs are extremely susceptible to heat stroke and require cooler temperatures, access to fresh water, and proper ventilation.”

Singh was sentenced to a fine of £8,199.98 and ordered to pay the RSPCA’s prosecution costs of £1,086.98. Additionally, he received a six-year ban from owning animals, which will expire in April 2029. This case highlights the importance of animal welfare and the consequences of neglecting the needs of vulnerable creatures in Stockport.
