A day after Mail Today reported about the city cabbie who has been accused of raping a seven-month-old puppy, police sources said cops are likely to include Section 377 (unnatural offences) of the Indian Penal Code in the FIR. However, so far no arrest has been made in connection with the case as officials are awaiting a supplementary medical report of the puppy.

As per locals, Naresh Kumar is absconding since Thursday evening and his wife has locked herself in the oneroom set they live in. On Wednesday, few hours after the couple talked to this reporter, Naresh had beaten up his wife and had broken her right arm. On Thursday too, Naresh and his elder brother Suresh were found drunk, but since evening, Naresh is absconding.

According to sources in the department, the doctors who have conducted the post-mortem of the Jenny were contacted. "Senior officers have asked them to submit a detailed report about the examination," the source added.

AUTOPSY REPORT OF PUPPY

Speaking to Mail Today, the doctor at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, where the autopsy was conducted claimed that the report mentions "excessive blood loss from her private part and the shock of the horror are the cause of her death". Now, police are suspecting that it could be possible that Naresh might have inserted some foreign object in the private part of the puppy.

Law experts believe that even if the foreign object was inserted by Naresh, the case comes under section 377 of the IPC.

A senior police officials, on condition of anonymity, said they are likely to include section 377 against Naresh and he will be arrested soon. Meanwhile, based on the report published in Mail Today, Naresh's wife will be called for a statement and if she tells police about Naresh being pervert, another case will be registered against him.

Naresh is a father of two daughters and he lives in a narrow lane of Naraina in southwest Delhi. He works as a cab driver with a private company.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED

According to the FIR, the incident took place on August 25. As per animal lover Abhishek Kumar, who is also the complainant in the case, Naresh confessed that he had raped the puppy and left her bleeding in a jute bag in Naraina Industrial Area with the help of his brother Suresh.

When Abhishek along with some locals went to that area, the bag was discovered and the puppy was found in a pool of blood.

When the puppy was rushed to the hospital, it was declared brought dead. After five days of receiving the complaint, the FIR was registered with Naraina police station under section 429 of IPC, 11 of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.

Experts say attacks as well as cases of cruelty against canines are on the rise in the country. A chilling CCTV footage emerged this month, showing a group of men savagely pummelling a stray dog to death with bricks in a south Delhi alley and then stealing the carcass. Two of the accused were arrested and they claimed to have eaten the animal.

Similarly, a psychopath, Nakul Mishra, was found stabbing dogs to death at the Green Park Metro station, and an unemployed Dwarka resident chopped off the hind legs of a puppy with a hacksaw when it scratched him last year. In October 2016, Hyderabad Police arrested a man for killing and raping a dog.
