In a gruesome incident, few boys burnt three puppies alive, filmed their act and posted it on Facebook.
The incident, which happened at Vazir graveyard near Ek Minar mosque in Hyderabad’s Musheerabad area on July 16 evening, came to light on Wednesday when the video clip was posted on Facebook and within hours it went viral on social media, reported Hindustan Times.
Based on a complaint from some animal rights activists, the Musheerabad police registered a case.
In the three-minute video, five boys were seen throwing the puppies into fire made out of burning wood and garbage. When the puppies started screaming and tried to come out, the boys were seen pushing them back into the fire using sticks. They waited till the puppies were burnt completely.
The case is under investigation and the police are trying to identify the persons involved.
“We have not arrested anybody so far. We are still trying to identify the persons in the video. Prima facie, they all appear to be minors. The case is under investigation,” Musheerabad sub-inspector B Ravi Kumar Reddy told HT.
Inquiries, however, said the police had taken five suspects into custody and are interrogating them.
Animal rights activist Shreya said it was evident from the video clippings that the boys were drawing vicarious pleasure from roasting the puppies alive in the fire.
“We received a complaint yesterday on this incident and went to the police,” Shreya told NDTV.
In their complaint, Shreya said that the boys “gathered flammable material and burnt the puppies alive and killed them. One of the perpetrators recorded the entire incident and is heard instructing and instigating the other culprits to set fire.”
