Cruelty to animals continues in India. In another shocking incident, a housing community in Mira road, Mumbai put 11 puppies in plastic bag and dumped it in a garbage bin, in the middle of heavy rain.
Shefali Agarwal, a resident of the same building caught the accused committing the heinous act on camera.
“Being an animal lover, upon sighting the act, I immediately clicked pictures of it and informed animal activists, as a delay would have costed the lives of 11 puppies,”Agarwal said.
Upon receiving the pictures, the Peace for Animals Welfare Association (PAWA) immediately launched a complaint with the police.
All the three people involved in the crime were of the Sandstone Co-operative Housing Society (CHS) at Mira road.
Ratan Das, secretary, Harkaran Ahluwalia, Chairman and Charlie have been charged under the Bombay Police Act and also under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
“The puppies were found dumped inside a garbage bin in a tightly wrapped polythene bag,” said a senior officer to DNA.
Meanwhile Harkaran Singh Ahluwalia, chairperson of the housing community had no comments regarding the matter and just said “Let the court decide about the incident”.
