New Delhi: A Siberian Husky was allegedly kidnapped by four men in an Innova car in south Delhi’s Vasant Kunj area.
According to police, the incident took place when one-year-old Zorro was out for walk with its owner Aftab Khan, when it tried to prevent a gang of cattle thieves from stealing pigs in south Delhi’s Vasant Kunj Enclave on Friday.
The dog started barking at unidentified persons and started following the car.The thieves then picked up the dog and fled in a golden coloured Innova as its owner looked on.
Khan chased the van for a while but failed to note down its registration number, he told the police in his complaint.
A case of theft has been registered at Vasant Kunj (south) police station. Meanwhile, a CCTV camera installed near the crime spot was found to be dysfunctional.
About 72 hours later, the police has not been able to trace the dog or nab his kidnappers.
Describing the incident, the owner, Aftab Khan, said, “At 6.30 am on Saturday, my dog and I were out for a walk when we spotted four men standing outside a golden-coloured Innova and trying to push a pig inside the vehicle. Seeing us, they got into the vehicle and sped away. However, Zorro ran behind the vehicle. The men stopped, picked up my dog and sped away.”
Zorro, a male Siberian Husky, was procured by Khan last year. "Zorro is a favourite among family members and we shall make all efforts to track him," he said.
Khan and his family also uploaded a video on you tube for people to identify the missing dog in which it can be seen getting a haircut. The family is planning to stick missing posters to help track Zorro at the earliest, he said.
