Bhopal:
In disturbing viral video, a man is seen throwing a stray dog off a bridge several feet into a Bhopal lake and then smiling for the camera. Following a complaint from an animal defense group, the local police have registered a case against the accused.
The clip shows the man stroking a dog. He then gently picks up the unsuspecting animal and throws it into the body of water. The canine can be seen hitting the water but it is unclear from the video if it survived the fall.
The old video had been shared on the social media app Snack Video with an Indian rap song playing in the background.
Some of those who shared the video claimed that it was filmed on Boat Club Road near Van Vihar on the shores of the lake, also called Bada Talab.
“As you can see from the video, the man threw the dog into the water and then he was seen smiling. We have registered a case in the matter and the defendant Salman Khan will be arrested soon,” Senior Police Officer Bittu Sharma told NDTV .
The police are looking for the missing defendant.
