The couple lived in a flat in Bikramgarh, in the Jadavpur area. “The man has been detained for questioning. Investigation is going on,” a police officer said. Popular Bengali actor and animal activist Debolina Dutta, who rushed to the spot, said Bhattacharya had identified himself in a video in which he described how he killed the dogs.
“In a video clip, he is proudly saying that as his live-in partner, who allegedly owed him a few lakh rupees, quit and moved out of the house, he strangled one dog and smashed the head of another puppy,” Dutta told media persons.
The woman alerted her neighbours after seeing the video, local residents told the media. Police detained the man and took the bodies of the two dogs after neighbours informed them. “He was also heating a bucket of water with an electric heater to pour it on a third pet.
Before he could kill the third one, the police arrived,” a local resident said. “He said that he did this out of revenge. The Jadavpur police station was alerted. They have detained the man,” Dutta said. Joydeep Thakur is a Special Correspondent based in Kolkata.
