A mother-son duo was booked for allegedly killing a dog by hanging it from a tree in Maharashtra‘s Pune district, police have said.

The alleged crime was committed in the Pirangut area of Mulshi tehsil and a case was registered against Prabhavati Jagtap and her son Omkar Jagtap, an official said.

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray had raised the incident on social media, while Padmini Stump, an animal activist who runs Mission Possible Foundation that operates a shelter home for dogs, approached the Pune rural police with a complaint against the mother and son.
