In a blood-curdling incident, a man in Nagpur was arrested for raping a stray female dog at a park. The accused was arrested after the video of his heinous actions went viral on social media. Meanwhile, the victim dog was later found bleeding, and is currently in critical condition, receiving treatment. The incident was reported from Nagpur’s Hudkeshwar and the accused was identified as 40-year-old Devendra Ganpat Bhagat, a Madhya Pradesh native.
The matter came to the fore after a complaint was filed against Bhagat by Parth Bhose, who took to the cops with the video evidence of the incident. The video of the incident was filmed by a group of boys playing cricket in the same park. The cops were later given a tip-off, and the accused was thereafter arrested, and booked under Prevention to Animal Cruelty Act.
Tanya Dubey, the founder of a dog-welfare NGO The Bark Club, worked with the cops to get the accused arrested. A TOI report quoted Tanya saying, “On Friday, we admitted the victim dog, which was bleeding severely, to the government veterinary hospital off VIP Road. We traced the culprit through our volunteers on Thursday itself after we saw the viral video”.
Earlier this week, two men in UP were arrested for cutting the ear, tail of two puppies, and eating them as a ‘snack’ with alcohol.
