Delhi man kills neighbour's Husky pup by flinging from staircase of apartment
A man in Delhi has been booked for killing a Husky pup of his landlord by flinging it from the staircase balcony of the apartment, alleging that it had bitten his newborn, the police said on Friday. According to the police, the incident took place on the night of April 19, when the pup's owner, Jitender Nagpal, was away at work in Loni. The golden and black Husky named Cherry ran out of the house when Nagpal's son opened the door for the laundry worker. Cherry ran upstairs while Nagpal's son collected the clothes and paid the man. 'The laundry man told my son that Cherry was on the third floor where my tenant Ravi Gupta lives with his family,' recalled Nagpal. According to the First Information Report, Gupta violently flung the pup out of the building from the staircase landing's balcony when Nagpal's son ascended to the third floor to take Cherry back. Cherry was unconscious when Nagpal's son reached her, the FIR stated. The police booked Gupta under Section 325 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 11 of The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. 'They took him in for questioning, and he told the police that Cherry had bitten his newborn son. How could she have done that? She didn't even have time to enter his house,' said Nagpal. Nagpal alleged that Gupta had taken Cherry to play with his daughter a few days back and had faced no issues then. Nagpal, who adopted Cherry in early March from an acquaintance, said, his children have been unable to get over their grief and trauma. 'My children have been crying since the incident. Cherry was closest to them. They couldn't eat or sleep all night after she died,' said Nagpal. Nagpal said not much action could be taken against Gupta as the laws he's been booked under are bailable offences. 'He (Gupta) was also let go by the police after a few hours. Cherry was like my daughter.' 'My children are my life. If they're happy, I'm happy. Hence, I agreed to their request to buy a pet dog,' Nagpal recalled. Despite Gupta being his tenant, Nagpal said he was unable to evict Gupta from their house because Gupta's family has been living at their in-laws' house in Burari for quite some time.
