An extremely sickening incident has come to light from Telangana, where a drunken youth ate a chicken that was alive. The video of the youth peeling and eating the living bird was shot by a passerby and is being widely circulated.

The incident took place on Tuesday in Telangana's Mahabubabad district, where two youths from Kesamudram area were partying. They purchased the chicken for making curry and had a bit too much to drink.

Under the influence of alcohol, they both started walking towards their home but passed out midway near a road.

After a while, one of them woke up feeling hungry and started ripping off the feathers and flesh from the live chicken and eating it.

In the video, the youth could be seen tearing apart the chicken and eating its flesh.

Since the video surfaced, local police have formed teams to identify and nab the accused youth for animal cruelty and indecent behaviour in public.
