In another shocking incident in October this year, a dog was mercilessly killed by hanging him from an iron-grill gate using leash and ropes in MP's Misrod.
The incident was caught on CCTV camera where employees of a dog training centre were seen mercilessly killing the dog. The footage was deleted by an operator and employee of the centre to conceal their crime.
The matter was reported at Misrod police station by dog owner Nihil Jaiswal, a liquor businessman, as per a Times of India report. The shocking details of the crime were revealed after the police seized the CCTV-DVR and with the help of the cyber cell, recovered the footage which went viral on social media.
