Man held for abusing animal


Chennai: A 26-year-old man was arrested in Neelankarai early on Sunday on charges of sexually assaulting a buffalo calf. The police said Srinivasan, who had come to the city from southern Tamil Nadu a few years ago, was drunk when he abused the fivemonth-old calf. 

Srinivasan worked in a grocery shop in the locality and was on his way home when the incident took place, a police officer said. “A resident of Venkateswara Nagar in Kottivakkam, S Mahabarath, who witnessed the incident, informed Blue Cross,” he said. 

Blue Cross general manager Dawn Williams said the man was partially undressed when they caught him. “We handed him over to the Neelankarai police.” The calf has been sent to Government Veterinary College and Hospital for medical examination, Williams said. 

The man has been remanded in judicial custody. “When we interrogated him, he said that he was drunk and did not do it intentionally,” said a police officer.
