A 19-year-old youth who was set afire by his neighbours for beating up their pet dog succumbed at the Gandhi Hospital.

A case of attempt to murder was registered against the six accused identified as Peda Durgaiah, Chinna Durgaiah, Lacchaiah, Narasimhulu and two women Durgamma and Amrita, all residents of the colony. The victim, Mallesham’s brother G. Srinivas said, “My brother came home at around 7.45 pm on March 21 and was washing his feet. Suddenly the dog belonging to Durgaiah came and began drinking water from the bucket. Angered by this, he beat the dog. Peda Durgaiah who saw this informed his relatives. Six of them came and beat Mallesham and abused him for beating their dog. Then they doused him in kerosene brought by the two women and set him afire.”
“It happened in just 15 minutes. As locals gathered they informed the police and an ambulance was called.
