In a shocking turn of events, two MBBS students have emerged as suspects in the serious animal abuse incident, in which one of them was caught on camera throwing a dog from the roof of a house.
An animal rights activist, Karthik Dhandapani, has identified them as Asish Pal and Gautam Sudharshan, both medical students in Chennai, and from Tuticorn and Tirunelveli respectively.
A video shows one of them petting a street dog and then suddenly hurling it from the roof of his house.
The other person possibly handled the camera, which followed the dog as it lay on the ground writhing in pain.
After the video went viral, horrified animal rights activists filed a complaint with Chennai police and launched a massive man hunt to identify the culprits.
The Humane Society International/India offered a reward of Rs 1 lakh to anyone providing information on them.
With celebrities such as Trisha coming out in support, the campaign seems to have successfully hunted down the perpetrators of the ghastly crime.
Karthik Dhandapani informs that Asish Pal and Gautam Sudharshan are on the run with the police in hot pursuit. The roof, where the crime occurred, has also been identified.
If caught and successfully prosecuted Asish Pal and Gautam Sudharshan face up to five years under Section 429 of IPC and Section 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PCA) Act.
The incident reportedly took place two weeks ago in the Kundrathur police station area of Chennai. The unfortunate dog succumbed to its injuries.
