Gurugram: Annoyed by the noise of his three domestic animal, a 29 year old resident DLF In Phase 3, a dog and a cat were allegedly lynched to death on Friday afternoon. He was about to kill his other cat but a neighbor saved him. Police said he was arrested on Saturday.
Police said Raj Roy used a toilet brush to beat his pets until they fell unconscious and eventually died. The neighbor saw him stuffing the dead animals into a box kept in the balcony and informed the police. The police claimed to have recovered the bodies and sent them for post-mortem.
“During interrogation, we came to know that Raj was under stress and his pets would not stop making noise. He got irritated and all his anger turned on the three pets, which were basically strays,” said a police officer. The two pets he killed were barely 2-3 months old.
As per the complaint lodged by the neighbour, who reported the crime to the police control room, he heard a crackling sound around 3 pm on Friday, after which he went to the balcony.
“Raj was brutally beating his two pets on the balcony. After a few minutes, the man pulled the third animal, a cat, and started thrashing him and tried to stuff him into the box when we raised the alarm,” the neighbor said in his complaint.
An FIR has been registered against Raj under section 11(1)(a) Prevention of cruelty to animals (PCA) Act (beating, kicking, torturing or dealing with any animal so as to cause unnecessary pain) and 429 (causing mischief of any value or of any animal by killing or maiming) of the IPC.
“The accused, originally from Delhi, was arrested. Since it was a bailable offence, he was released on bail,” said the police officer.
