London: Police in Pakistan have arrested a man accused of tying a young boy to a donkey which then dragged him to death, reports BBC.

The incident happened in Lora village, 80km (50 miles) south of Abbottabad.

Reports said the landowner Mohammad Miskin, who denies the charges, became angry after animals the boy was looking after strayed on to his land.

He tied the boy to the donkey and beat it to make it run faster, witnesses said. The boy, an eight-year-old named Mudassir, died of his injuries.
