Hyderabad: A man named Satyanarayana was arrested on Saturday after a tragic incident at Jummerath Bazar in Hyderabad, where he allegedly killed a dog. The incident occurred after Satyanarayana’s son was bitten by a stray dog that had been startled by firecrackers the boy was setting off.

According to police reports, angered by the incident, Satyanarayana attacked the dog, eventually throwing it from the second floor of a building, resulting in the dog’s death. Following this, he reportedly attempted to dispose of the animal’s body in the Musi River. Police were able to retrieve the body and have launched an investigation.
