Bengaluru, Nov 3 (IANS) A shocking incident came to light on Monday from an apartment building in Bengaluru, where a domestic help brutally killed a puppy inside the lift by throwing it on the floor. The incident occurred under the jurisdiction of Bengaluru’s Bagalur police station.
Rashi Pujari, the owner of the dead pet, lodged a police complaint against the maid involved in the act. The accused has been identified as Pupalata, who was specifically hired to look after the dog.
The woman was being paid to care for the pet and was also provided accommodation and food at her employer’s residence.
According to initial investigation, the accused committed this cruel act while taking the dog for a walk. This incident took place on October 31 but came to light recently. After killing the pet, the woman was seen in CCTV footage walking out of the lift carrying the dead puppy in one hand.
Pupalata had been working at Rashi’s house for a few months. A puppy named Goofy died as a result of the cruel act inside the elevator. After CCTV footage surfaced, Rashi lodged a complaint with the police. The footage shows the accused dragging the dog’s body by the leash and walking out of the lift, sparking outrage among people.
The CCTV clip has since gone viral, sparking widespread condemnation from animal lovers. It shows the woman swinging and repeatedly throwing the small dog to the floor by the leash – an act of shocking cruelty.
After killing the dog, Pushpalatha had fabricated a story claiming that the puppy had accidentally fallen while coming out of the lift. However, when the pet owner questioned security personnel about the incident, he received information that raised suspicions.
On checking the CCTV footage, the brutal act came to light. A case has been registered against Pushpalatha at Bagalur Police Station.
Animal welfare activists have expressed strong anger over this incident. Police have started investigation. The pet owner said there were no previous problems with Pupalatha. Further investigation is underway.
