Ghaziabad Man Ties the Dog to Bike and Drags It Over 2 Km; Arrested

In a shocking incident, a man was arrested on Saturday for tying a dog to his motorcycle with a rope and dragging it for around 2.5 km.

The man has been recognized as Islam, a resident of the Vijay Nagar police station area. He was caught by the onlookers, who rescued the injured dog and took it to a hospital.

President of People for Animals (PFA) Surbhi Rawat said that the accused first hit the stray with a brick and lost consciousness.

Rawat said she reached the spot on receiving information of the incident and found the dog covered in blood, following which Islam was handed over to the police.

The accused claimed he was taking the dog to abandon it at a different place after it had shown signs of “abnormal behavior” and bitten several people.

ACP Anshu Jain said: “A video was received through social media, wherein a dog was being dragged after being tied to a bike by a person. The said person has been identified and arrested. Further action is being taken in the matter.”
