A 68-year-old senior citizen was arrested in Maharashtra's Juhu Lane on Wednesday for raping a street dog, according to a report by The Indian Express.
Ahmad Shah, a vegetable vendor and a resident of Juhu Galli, was arrested after Vijay Mohnani of NGO Bombay Animal Rights submitted a video to the police in which Shah could be seen raping the dog.
According to the FIR, Mohnani had received a call from a resident of Juhu Galli who told him there is a man in the area who rapes street dogs, and was caught on camera. The man said he had warned him against the act, but the accused kept repeating it.
An FIR was registered under Sections 377 (unnatural offences) and 429 (killing or maiming an animal) of the IPC and Section 11 (treating animals cruelly) of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
