The video showing the act of violence went viral on social media on Tuesday. But she is letting us play with her. Now, we are told, they are very close to catching the accused – Gautam Sudharshan and Ashish Pal, two final year MBBS students from the Madha Medical College in Kundrathur, who have been on the run since. Complainant Shravan Kumar said that it’s great news that both the culprits have been arrested.
On Tuesday night, the poor dog, Bhadra, was photographed for the first time since her traumatic ordeal began where she looked tired and frail and her limps hung limply from her torso. After falling from a rooftop of a building, the dog is still alive. In the post, he has said the pup is unable to walk properly and she is under medical attention.
Shravan Krishnan, an animal welfare activist, in Chennai, said: ‘We had assumed the dog was dead because we could not find her. It shows a man – nay, a jerk – throwing a dog out of his terrace while another man films him just for the kicks.
Within hours of the video being posted to Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp, Shravan Krishnan, the co-founder of a dog kennel in the southern city of Chennai, announced on his Facebook account a complaint had been filed with local authorities. “She will continue to be treated by the veterinarians at TANUVAS, who have also confirmed that she is definitely the same dog as was seen in the video as her injuries are consistent with such a fall”. After two days of social media uproar and the issue been brought to everyone’s notice, the students involved got identified on social media itself. The man was identified as a graduate of the Medical College of Tamil Nadu in India. The quick bail has led several activists to argue for the need for stronger laws to prevent animal cruelty.
