Here it is to be noted that based on a complaint by animal rights activist Sai Vignesh, city police arrested Bhaskar on Wednesday and booked him under section 294 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) which corresponds to charges of performing obscene acts in public. As per the latest reports, Bhaskar has been remanded to prison awaiting further inquiry into the allegations against him. It has been indicated by investigating officers that a first information report (FIR) in this regard was filed after consulting legal experts.

However, Sai Vignesh, the activist who filed the police complaint told that Bhaskar is a repeat offender. He was seen sexually abusing pups at the second cross street in MMDA colony last month, said Vignesh adding that passerby witnessed the act and scared Bhaskar away. However, less than a month later, he was seen sexually abusing puppies at the empty ground near Madhavaram by locals who lashed at him for indulging in Beastiality.
