In the video gone viral, the accused can be seen hanging the dog by tying its neck with a metal chain from a wall. One of the accused can be seen pulling a chain, and the dog gives a gut-wrenching wail of pain. The agony of the dog somehow triggers the accused to encourage the accused who pulled the chain. The ordeal ultimately ends as the dog succumbs and dies.
After the triggering video of the incident went viral on social media, many netizens expressed their outrage on social media. DCW chief Swati Maliwal tweeted, “I am very upset after watching the video. Brutality against animals is increasing each day. Humans are losing humanity.”
The accused in the matter were identified as Dheeraj Kumar, his son Atul and Dheeraj’s nephews Sumit and Nikhil. The accused have been booked under sections of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960.
