The arrest was made in Jitpur, Deumai Municipality, Ilam, based on a complaint filed by the Kathmandu Animal Welfare Society.
The incident came to light after a video showing the young men torturing and killing the puppy was shared on social media.
The video was initially posted on a Facebook account named Sugam Morahang Limbu but has since been removed.
Sneha Shrestha, the president of the Animal Welfare Society, stated, “It appears the puppy was killed in a very cruel manner. Those who commit such heinous acts must be punished according to the prevailing laws.”
