Kerala: In another incident of inhumane and gut-wrenching cruelty towards animals, a man in Ernakulam, Kerala was arrested after tying his dog to a car and then dragging it down a road. A passerby, Akhil, shot a video that went viral, who confronted the owner, Yusuf, and released the dog.
Akhil said that he later informed animal welfare organisation DAYA about the incident, which ultimately lodged a complaint against the accused and led to his arrest. The police reported that Yusuf wanted to get rid of his dog as its presence was causing disturbances with strays on his street.
Yusuf has been charged under Sections 428 (Mischief by killing or maiming animal) and 429 (Mischief by killing or maiming cattle, etc) of the India Penal Code (IPC), and Section 11(1) in The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, the police said. His driver’s license has been revoked as well.
