Nursing students arrested for killing puppies get bail

Kolkata: Two nursing students, arrested after being allegedly seen in a video mercilessly beating puppies to death in a state-run medical college and hospital, were granted bail on Wednesday by a local court.

Moutushi Mondal, a first-year nursing student of Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College & Hospital, and Shoma Burman of second year, were produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate’s court at Sealdah in a surcharged atmosphere with slogan-shouting animal rights activists demanding stringent punitive action against the two.

After hearing the prosecution and the defence, the magistrate granted bail to Mondal and Burman. According to the police, the accused have claimed they were fed up with the puppies which did not allow them to go out of the hostel and moved too close to their feet for comfort. (IANS)
