In a disgusting incident, a 34-year-old man has been accused of having raped a female puppy in Delhi’s Narayana area, following which the puppy died instantly. An animal lover said that driver Naresh Kumar had boasted about the incident before him and also led him to the carcass.
A post-mortem report confirmed rape and death due to excessive bleeding from the animal’s private parts.
The incident took place on 25 August. Naresh, who is a driver at a private cab company, was in an inebriated state when he grabbed the puppy named Jenney. He reportedly raped her and left it to bleed. He later confessed his deed to the locals and the animal lover.
With the help of his elder brother, Naresh arranged a jute bag and stuffed the puppy into it. They chucked it into a dry drain next to a garbage dumping site.
Animal lover, Abhishek Kumar, who stays in the same colony noticed in the evening that the puppy was missing. A search led locals to an inebriated Naresh. The neighbours asked him about the puppy and he allegedly told them that he had dumped it in Naraina Industrial area after having sex with it.
The locals said that he showed them the jute bag lying in the drain and then ran away. Abhishek rushed the puppy to Sanjay Gandhi Animal Care Centre where doctors declared it dead.
A call was made to the police control room and a team reached the hospital. “I told the police about the confessions made by Naresh and I have filed a complaint at Naraina police station. Based on the complaint, the post-mortem was conducted at Sanjay Gandhi hospital,” Abhishek told Mail Today.
The autopsy report was submitted to the cops on 26 August. Despite several attempts, police officials refused to show the post-mortem report to this reporter or the complainant. Speaking to Mail Today, Dr Deleep Suri at Sanjay Gandhi hospital said that the postmortem report had clearly mentioned excessive bleeding from its private parts and the shock of the act as a cause of death.
Even after four days of receiving the complaint and the postmortem report, cops had not converted it into an FIR until the complainant met senior officials.
“A few hours after approaching the seniors, the FIR was registered on Tuesday night under Section 429 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 11 of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act,” said Abhishek. He added that despite confirmation in the autopsy report, Section 377 (unnatural offences) of the IPC has not been added in the FIR.
