The incident happened last week when the puppy entered Pramod’s house and the latter offered him food, police said.

In what may be called a love or its eagerness, the dog scratched the accused’s leg with a paw. Pramod got angry and brought a blade to chop off the legs of the puppy, said a senior police officer.

Neighbours claim Pramod, an unemployed man, is often found in an inebriated state.

“Punitive proceeding u/s 11 of PCA act has been initiated against the offender at PS Palam (sic),” tweeted DCP (Southwest) Surender Kumar.
