Three men were booked and detained after a stray dog was hanged from a tree and beaten to death in Bengaluru. Bengaluru police stated that a video of the killing circulated online and led to the detentions, while an investigation continues to identify the person who filmed or posted the clip. The offence is alleged to fall under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, which bans causing unnecessary injury or death to animals. Police warned that, if proven, the detainees could face imprisonment and fines as prescribed by the Act. The case will be examined by Bengaluru police and may be forwarded to the courts for trial, police added.
