Humanity's death First hot tar was poured, then road roller crushed animal

Social activist Naresh Paras said, "A fresh layer of coal tar was being laid on road from Phool Sayyed crossing towards Circuit House and the Taj Mahal." The dog was sleeping on the side of the road, but men at work decided not to wake it up and instead poured hot tar over the animal. If this wasn't enough, a road roller crushed the dog later.
