The one-year-old Siberian Husky, which was 'kidnapped' last week when out for a morning stroll with its master at a park in south Delhi's Vasant Kunj area was today found tied to a pole in the same park.
It is suspected that the gang of cattle thieves which had abducted the dog left it there fearing arrest, police said.
"The neighbours who go out for morning walk on regular basis spotted Zoro (the dog) tied to a pole in the park around 5 AM. We rushed to the spot and, yes, it was him," Aftab Khan, the owner of the dog said.
Police had registered a case in connection with the matter. They were informed about the dog today, following which a team was sent to Khan's house.
"Efforts are on to track down the gang which had forcibly
Taken away the dog," a senior police official said.
On Friday, while Zoro and Khan were out for morning walk, the dog started following a gang of cattle thieves, suspectedly looking out for pigs in a forested area nearby.
Zoro saw pigs in their van too and started barking, following which the gang of around 4-5 men forcibly put the Siberian Husky into their Toyota Innova van and sped away, while Khan looked on.
