Bhubaneswar: An engineering student, Ashutosh Nayak, was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly killing a pet cat at Unit-IV here.
In a complaint lodged at Kharvela Nagar police station, the owner of the cat, Sushant Kumar Pattnaik, alleged that Ashutosh had shot the cat. The feline had sustained bullet injuries in the head and back.
According to Sushant, his mother heard gunshots around 12.30 pm. She later found the cat falling in their garden. The cat was taken to College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry where it succumbed.
The complainant further claimed that the engineering student had earlier killed many stray dogs, cats and birds in a similar manner.
