Mumbai Taxi Driver Booked For 'raping' dog, Seeks Bail

25 September 2009

MUMBAI: This is a bizarre bail plea in a bizarre crime case.

A 26-year-old taxi driver, charged with having sexual intercourse with a dog, told a sessions court that he should be given bail because the police was not in a position to record the victim’s statement.

Mahesh Kamat was arrested from Tardeo on August 30 and booked under section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). It deals with offences relating to ‘‘unnatural sex’’; cops also slapped him with the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PCA) Act.

However, Kamat — in custody since his arrest — pleaded that the PCA was not applicable to him as the dog he was charged of having intercourse with was a ‘‘stray’’ and not a ‘‘pet dog’’. He also said that he had been falsely implicated in the case.

The court though turned down the plea saying there was enough evidence against him. Moreover, it said that Kamat’s alleged offence had disturbed the residents of the area and the act amounted to cruelty to an animal.

Cops have also collected DNA and forensic evidence in a bid to nail him in court.

He was barking up the wrong tree if he thought he was going to get bail

How did this amount to cruelty against the dog? Has the dog made a complaint? I suppose it could be classed as cruelty if he was a "large" chap shagging a chihuahua but if it was a great dane well surely that would be fair game.
