According to a report, people on social media have now identified the culprit. He is one Gautam Sudarshan, a medical student at Kundrathur in Kancheepuram district. The person who shot the video is one Ashish Pal.

“We got information from different students who recognized the student from the video that went viral. It was because of this information that we could lead the police to the right college,” said Shravan Krishnan, an animal welfare activist who led the police to the college.
