Agartala, Mar 17: A youth was sent to jail after the local court in Tripura found him guilty of killing a street dog brutally.

The youth, identified as Bador Jamatia, has been booked under Section 325 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960.

According to reports, the youth was arrested from Wak Shimalung Para village in Khowai district on Saturday for killing a street dog on March 11.

The police produced Jamatia in a court in Khowai on Sunday, and the judge granted him bail. However, there was no bailer for the accused.

The police arrested the youth after Tipra Motha Party (TMP) supremo and royal scion Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma lodged an FIR with the police after noticing a video on social media where the youth was found engaging in an act of cruelty towards the animal.

According to the viral videos, Jamatia brutally beat the dog and later hung it from a tree. The accused had been absconding before he was arrested on Saturday.
