Mumbai , Sep 24 A sessions court has rejected the bail application of a 26-year-old man, arrested for allegedly raping a female dog, after observing that the accused has committed cruelty against an animal. Mahesh Kamat was arrested on August 30 after he was allegedly caught in a compromising position with a female dog at Tardeo in central Mumbai . Kamat was booked under Section 377 (unnatural sex)
of the IPC and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. In his bail application, the accused claimed that he had been falsely implicated and that the investigation in the case was complete." Since the victim in the alleged offence is an animal, the question of recording the statement of the said victim does not arise. The question of cruelty towards the animal also does not arise as the accused was not the owner of the dog," Kamat states in his bail plea.
