Delhi police gets better footage of dog killer

The city police procured a cleaned-up image of the youth who had allegedly slaughtered three puppies near the Green Park Metro station, on Monday. Investigating officer has also procured CCTV footage from other shops located near the Metro station.

“The close-up of the as-yet-unidentified-man was extracted from the footage recorded by a CCTV camera installed in a shop near the Metro station premises,” said a police officer.

The grab that provided the close-up image was captured minutes after the accused had attacked the dogs, the officer said. A clearer visual will be obtained from the CCTV footage. The image would then be circulated on social media for identification of the accused with posters, too, likely to be put up to assist the efforts to nab him, he said.

In the close-up, the man is seen walking away from the purported scene of the crime. He is wearing a jacket and shorts and slippers. He is fair-complexioned and sports a beard.

Some locals, who have seen the grab, however, were unable to recognise the accused.
