Tamil Nadu men who threw dog off roof surrender, get bail

A medical student who threw a dog from a five-storey building and his classmate who recorded the act on video were granted bail on Wednesday July 06,2016, hours after they were handed over to police by their parents.

They were produced in a court in Sriperumbudur, police said. A case under a law dealing with cruelty against animals has been registered against the two final-year medical students.

The man in the clip, identified as Gautman Sudarshan, nonchalantly looks into the camera before the video switches to a slow-motion shot of the helpless animal being flung off the roof and falling to the ground with a thud. His friend, Ashish Paul, filmed the act.

“It is a black day for animal rights in the country,” said animal rights activist Shravan Krishnan after the two got bail.
