Rajkot: A man was arrested on Sunday night for allegedly perpetrating unnatural sex upon a cow in Dwarka of Devbhoomi Dwarka district.
Police said, they arrested the accused, Bharat Aswar (42) after a clip from the CCTV footage of the crime went viral on WhatsApp and social media.
The incident occurred on early Saturday morning when Aswar committed the crime near the office of old Dwarka municipality. Aswar is believed to have been caught in his act by one of the CCTV cameras installed near the crime spot.
“A social worker, Atul Dave (52), caught Aswar red-handed. When Dave asked him as to what he was doing, Aswar left the cow and fled from the spot,” said Gajendrasinh Zala, in-charge inspector with Dwarka police station.
Later when the video clip of the crime started circulating on WhatsApp and social media, Dave approached the police and lodged the complaint against Aswar. “Dave, who has a shop near Dwarka temple, said he knew Aswar as a rickshaw driver. Aswar has no criminal record. However, we have booked him under sections 377 and 511 of Indian Penal Code dealing with unnatural sex and 11 (1) (A) of the IPC dealing with cruelty against animal,” said Zala.
Zala said that Aswar might have been suffering from a mental disorder and might have problems in his personal life that spurred him to resort to committing such a heinous crime.
