"When we learnt that the dog has not received medicines since its master went missing, we sent cops from the local district and asked them to get the dog examined," said a senior police officer.
Bharti's wife Lipka Mitra has accused the former law minister of battering her after their fights, even setting his dog on her on one instance.
