On Thursday, a Delhi-based YouTuber was arrested for animal cruelty after he made a video of his pet dog tied to a bunch of helium balloons thereby making it fly. In the video, the dog could be seen suspended in the air with balloons tied to his back as the YouTuber and his mother cheered on the ground.
According to Atul Thakur, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) (South), Malviya Nagar police station received a complainant from one Gaurav Gupta belonging to the “People for Animals Society”.
Thakur informed that an FIR under section 188 IPC, Disaster Management Act and Section 11(1)(A) and Section 11(1)(D) Prevention to Cruelty to Animal Act was registered in Malviya Nagar police station, and the accused was arrested.
“Accused Gaurav Sharma is a resident of Panchsheel Vihar in Malviya Nagar. He told that he is a YouTuber and he made this video for that purpose only,” Thakur said.
He added that further investigation into the matter is underway.
The video, depicting the scene, shared on YouTube was later deleted. Gaurav Sharma later released another video and apologised, however, the original video had already gone viral on the internet leading to his arrest.
