Kolkata Man Detained Over Alleged Killing Of Partner's Two Dogs
Woman Claims Accused Showed Her Dog Hanging During Video Call
Kolkata: A man has been detained for allegedly killing his live-in partner's two pet dogs after she ended their relationship and moved out of their flat in Bikramgarh, a southern suburb of Kolkata, police said.
The accused, identified as Sanjib Bhattacharya, allegedly killed the two dogs and later showed one of them hanging from a noose during a video call with his former partner, according to reports.
Bhattacharya and the woman, identified as DJ Parinova, were living together in a flat in Bikramgarh. Tensions reportedly increased between the two, following which the woman decided to end the relationship and left the flat, leaving her two pet dogs behind.
The incident allegedly took place last Saturday when Bhattacharya made a video call to the woman. During the call, she saw one of her pet beagle dogs hanging from a noose on the screen. Terrified by the sight, she immediately contacted a local person and asked him to visit the flat.
On reaching the premises, the person found both dogs dead, with blood spread across the flat. A preliminary investigation indicated that the animals had allegedly been beaten to death with bricks. The Jadavpur police were informed about the incident and reached the spot. They subsequently took Bhattacharya into custody for questioning.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident. Further details are awaited.
