In a horrifying slow-motion clip that has since gone viral, a man who was later identified as Gautam S, a student at Tamil Nadu's Madha Medical College, throws the small dog off of a roof terrace in the southern city of Chennai.
Initially, the dog was believed to be dead. However, Karthik Dhandapani, the animal rights activist who brought attention to the cruel act, posted an update to Twitter claiming that the dog was alive.*
