A gruesome incident left everyone across the country in shock as, a few days ago, a vegetable vendor was arrested for torturing and sexually abusing nearly 30 stray dogs in Mumbai.
According to reports, a 68-year-old vendor identified as Ahmed Shahi had abused several local dogs in Andheri, Mumbai. The case had been under investigation at the DN Nagar Police Station where officers found nearly 30 dogs to have been victims of sexual abuse.
The incident came to light when a volunteer for an animal rights NGO called Bombay Animal Rights (BAR) secretly filmed the man luring a dog before raping it. The video was submitted to the cops who launched an investigation into the incident.
The man was booked under Sections 377 (unnatural sex) and 429 (harming animals) and section (11)(1)(a) of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals 1960 after being produced in a local court and sentenced to two days of police custody.
The incident has been condemned on social media by everyone and the hashtag #SorrySheru has been trending on Twitter. Animal lovers are urging authorities to ensure the safety of strays.
A Twitter user, who is a lawyer, posted, “The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 fines a person INR 50 for animal abuse! Is this enough for offenders like Ahmed?”
Rape, cruelty, abuse of animals is equally inhuman & criminal as of people.
