A video which recently surfaced on the internet displays the worst case of human depravity. In it, a man from Chennai holds a small dog by its neck and back, mercilessly flings it off the roof of a tall building, and films the entire disgusting act.

The video went viral on Facebook and Whatsapp and The Humane Society International offered Rs 1 lakh as the reward to the one who finds the man. Now finally, the man who did this horrifying act has been identified.

The man in the video has been identified as Gautam Sudharshan, a final year student from Madha medical college. Even the person who had shot this video 2 years back is found. He is Ashish Paul, a medical student from the same college.

When the police, accompanied with activists, went to arrest the duo, they were found absconding. While Gautam went home to Chennai, the other returned to his village, police claimed.

“This issue had surfaced two weeks ago when the video was uploaded. However, when students of the college recognized Gautam and tried to reveal his identity, they were threatened by him,” said Shravan Krishnan, one of the activists who accompanied the police.
