Four arrested for burying alive dog during road laying
AGRA: Four employees of a construction company were arrested on Wednesday for burying a dog alive during road work in Agra. The action followed an outrage in the social media against the brutal act of burying a dog that was sleeping on the road in bitumen. “A fresh layer of coal tar was being laid on the road from Phool Sayyed crossing towards the Circuit House and the Taj Mahal. A dog was sleeping on one side of the road. Instead of chasing the animal or removing it physically, burning coal tar was poured over it. Later, a road roller crushed the animal. The body has now disappeared,” social activist Naresh Paras told PTI. A case was registered at Sadar police station against the company. “Four employees allegedly involved in laying of road without caring for life of the dog have been arrested. They would be presented before the Court on Thursday,” said Narendra Kumar, incharge of Sadar police station in Agra.
