This picture speaks of the painful death this poor dog must have died in his sleep when construction workers laying a new road in Agra poured hot tar on him. 

Social activist Naresh Paras told PTI that workers were laying a fresh layer of coal tar while constructing the road from Phool Sayyed crossing towards the Circuit House and the Taj Mahal. A stray dog was sleeping on the roadside. 

Instead of waking the animal and shooing him away from the construction site, the workers allegedly poured burning hot tar on it. 

According to reports, the dog was also crushed by a road roller.

Social media was outraged after seeing the footage and pictures of the half-buried dog.

A case under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act has been filed with the police after residents in Agra protested outside the Sadar police station in Agra demanding action against the perpetrators.

Shame on everyone who was a part of this.
