New Delhi: A video of four men killing a stray dog has emerged from the national capital.
The incident reportedly took place in Munirka in the early hours of Tuesday, Independence Day.
CCTV footage accessed by CNN-News18 show the men standing near the dog which was sleeping at that time.
The men first did a recce of the area to see if there was anyone else there. When they found no one in the area, they hit the dog with a huge blunt object on its head.
The dog started bleeding profusely and they threw the dog aside. Then one of the men took out a plastic bag and put the dog, who was dead by the time, in it.
Varun, an animal activist who filed a police complaint regarding the incident, told CNN-News18 that he had found out about the incident on Tuesday, August 15 itself. "I got the footage a day later as the shops were closed because of Independence Day," he said. He filed a police complaint on Thursday.
