Four held for killing stray dog in Gurugram

The Gurugram police have arrested four accused, including a minor, for allegedly killing a stray dog in the Partap Nagar area while it was asleep outside a park.

According to the police, on Sunday early morning, one of the suspects threw a huge boulder at the dog while the remaining three assaulted the dog using sticks. The suspects then wrapped the dog’s body and took it away.

Based on a complaint filed by residents on Monday, the police registered an FIR against the four suspects under Section 325 (causing the death or permanent injury to any animal) of the BNS at New Colony police station.

While investigating, the police arrested four accused who were identified as Kulbhushan, Dev Kumar, Himanshu and a minor, all residents of Nai Basti in Gurugram.

“During interrogation, it was revealed that Kulbhushan worked for a private company in Gurugram and all the accused were from the same family. A few days back, the stray dog had bitten Kulbhushan, and it is because of this that the four decided to kill the dog. They threw the body in garbage,” a police spokesperson said.
