Recently, this serial dog killer was identified as Nakul Mishra – A 28 year old NIT Delhi graduate, who fled from Delhi, when the CCTV footage of dog killing went viral and caused an uproar among citizens living around the area. He left his rented room in south Delhi’s Yusuf Sarai area and shifted to his aunt’s residence in Mayur Vihar for few days before leaving for Lucknow.
As reported by a police official, Nakul has been suffering from depression and was on medication. He was sacked from his job, which resulted in a relationship break up with the girl he wanted to marry. His pet dog had also died recently, the cause of it is still unknown yet.
The Deputy Commissioner of Police (south), Mr. Ishwar Singh said. “He was arrested on Friday from Alam Bagh in Lucknow after police got specific inputs about his location. He was brought to Delhi on a transit remand.”
