This man felt no pity for his neighbor’s pet dog after shooting it down with his airgun.
Identified as Avinash Karan from Indian city of Hyderabad, the man was arrested on charges of killing his neighbour’s dog.
According to police, Karan, who works as a manager in a private bank, got annoyed with a dog, who often strayed into his house.
On Sunday, the dog came to his house only to become victim of his anger. He picked up his airgun and took a shot at its abdomen. The wounds proved fatal as the dog died instantly at the spot.
Acting on a complaint later registered from the pet owner identified as Raju, the police arrested the culprit and recovered the weapon from his possession. It was revealed that he had bought it few months ago for Rs 18000.
It is pertinent to mention here that people who possess pet dogs have a special affection towards them. In one such incident, distraught over death of her pet dog, a girl in India committed suicide in one of the rare incidents of suicide in late 2017.
The death of a pet dog ended in two back-to-back suicides of its distraught owner and her friend, in west Bengaluru couple of days ago.
The Indian media had earlier reported that the girl took the extreme step because she was harassed by her friend. Instead, it was later discovered that the youth was said to be overwhelmingly upset over the girl’s death.
Depressed over the death of her Pomeranian Jimmy, C Gamini, 19, allegedly hanged herself from the ceiling of her house at Ashwath Nagar here. A few hours later, her friend jumped in front of a train near Binny Mills.
Gamini, a single child, was a BCom student at the RPA College in the city. Her mother Vijayalakshmi is a teacher and father Chikkaswamy a driver, reports the Indian media.
