Alia, Anushka demand serious actions against Chennai man who threw a dog off terrace
Mumbai: A video of a man throwing a dog from the terrace of a residential complex in Chennai went viral on Facebook on Monday, following which a city dweller filed a complaint with the city police to trace the culprit.
The main culprit was identified as one Gautam Sudarshan, a medical student at Kundrathur in Kancheepuram district, while his friend Ashish Pal shot the video. The two were arrested and let out on bail on July 6 for their act. The men were charged with offences punishable with fines of Rs 10 and Rs 50 instead of jail time.
