The development comes following complaints lodged by animal rights activists to the Union minister for women and child development Maneka Gandhi.



The activists spotted a video of the brutal incident that was doing its rounds on social media. Both the accused are, at present, absconding.


Reports suggest that the one-minute clip was shot two days back. The video reportedly showed that the former army man identified as Ajit Singh and his neighbour Satvir Singh killed the chained dog firing two shots.


The owner of the dog, Satvir Singh, defended himself saying that the dog was unstable and imbalanced since the last two days.
