Around 25 students and staff members suspected to be of Don Bosco Technical Institute in South East Delhi allegedly ganged up against a pregnant street dog and bludgeoned her to death after torturing her, officials said on Saturday.
After the video of the gruesome killing which happened in a park surfaced on social media, New Friends’ Colony Police registered an FIR in the matter.
According to complaint, two brothers of institute were also allegedly present under instructions from senior staff.
The disturbing video shows an all male gang of students cornering scared dog inside a tin shed on institute's campus which is entered by a student with a rod in his hand, and the remaining students egging him on from outside, they said. SR
The 15-minute-long video carrying horrid visual of the torture and killing of the animal went viral on Saturday with activists and dog lovers seeking strict actions against the accused, suspected to be students of the institute located in Okhla. Later, one of the crowd members could be seen dragging the dog through what has reported to be the college compound.
The ghastly act surfaced within days of another such video from Ghaziabad which showed three people killing a dog by hanging him in a grotesque manner. The accused in this incident were booked in a case by police after a complaint.
