In a horrific incident reported, a man in Uttar Pradesh has been taken into custody for allegedly sexually assaulting and killing a stray female dog.
The incident came to light when residents spotted the dog carcass lying in bushes behind the accused's house in the Gaura Nagar area of Vrindavan. Blood-stained bedding was also found nearby, and traces of blood were allegedly seen inside the house, said the Police while providing details of the incident.
Enraged over the discovery, locals allegedly thrashed the accused — blackening his face — and paraded him in the locality before handing him over to the police.
The accused has been identified as Bihari (35), a daily wage labourer and resident of Gaura Nagar. Police said he was married about 10 years ago, and his wife died two years ago.
Locals alleged that on Thursday night, the man lured the stray female dog into his house on the pretext of feeding it and later committed the crime before dumping the carcass in the bushes.
Circle Officer (Sadar) Peetam Pal Singh said the accused has been detained and is being questioned.
A detailed probe is underway, and appropriate legal action under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and other relevant provisions will be taken if the allegations are substantiated, he added.
