A gruesome murder has unfolded in a Bengaluru apartment where a woman allegedly smashed a pet dog against the floor of an apartment lift. The incident took place on November 1 and was captured on the CCTV installed inside the lift, the police said. 

In the footage, the woman identified as Pushpalatha is seen entering the lift with the pet dog. As the doors closed, she allegedly banged the animal against the floor, killing it on the spot, police said.

Subsequently, a complaint was filed by a 23-year-old woman who was the owner of the pet dog. According to her, she had hired Pushpalatha to take care of her four-year-old dog, named Goofy, for a salary of Rs 23,000 per month from September 11. 

"On November 1, my dog died. When I asked Pushpalatha how the dog had died, she said she did not know. Later, upon checking the CCTV footage, it was found that near the lift, she had lifted the dog and thrown it onto the ground, causing its death," the complainant alleged.

The police has registered a case against Pushpalatha under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and under Section 325 (mischief by killing or maiming an animal) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at the Bagalur police station. Pushpalatha has been arrested by the police and is detained for further interrogation.
