Hyderabad, November 3: In a shocking act of cruelty, a man in Hyderabad stabbed a dog multiple times before throwing its body from a two-storey building in Jummerath Bazar. The incident unfolded after the man's son was bitten by the dog, which had been agitated by the sound of firecrackers. Enraged by his child's injury, the man launched a violent attack on the animal before discarding the dog's carcass into the Musi River.  Following the recovery of the dog's carcass, police launched an investigation and arrested the accused.

According to a Times of India report, the accused, identified as Satyanarayana, a daily wage labourer, acted in a fit of rage after his son was bitten while playing outside. The altercation began when the boy was bursting firecrackers, which startled the street dog and provoked the bite. Witnesses noted that upon hearing of his son's injury, Satyanarayana confronted the dog and, in a brutal manner, stabbed it multiple times before throwing it off the building where he resided with his family. Hyderabad: Man Slips, Falls to Death From Third Floor of Hotel While Chasing Dog; CCTV Video Surfaces.
