A man has been booked for crushing a street dog under his car wheels in Jnanabharathi police station limits in Bengaluru, police said on Friday.
A manhunt has been launched to nab the accused.
According to police, the incident, which was captured on a CCTV camera, took place near Nagadevanahalli on April 19. Ramachandra Bhatta, a resident of Kengeri, has lodged a police complaint regarding the incident.
