RAJKOT: Venting his ire on a stray dog for tearing off his brother’s leather bike seat, a man beat a stray dog to death in Manharpura village in Madhapar. Accused Dilip Gohil killed the dog on December 6 and an offence was registered against him at University police station on Monday by his neighbour.
Gohil’s neighbour Kajal Talsaniya told the cops that upon seeing Gohil hitting the dog with a pipe on December 6, she tried to reason with him and stop the atrocity on the animal. Instead of letting the dog off, Gohil allegedly started to argue with Talsaniya about the torn bike seat, continuing with his violence.
Talsaniya went away, but on Monday when the civic body officials arrived near Gohil’s house to pick up the dog’s carcass, they inquired about its death.
Talsaniya told them that she had seen Gohil beating the dog and that could be the reason for his death. The civic body officials approached the police and based on Talsaniya’s complaint an offence under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act was registered against Gohil. Cops are yet to arrest the accused.
