The incident was reported in West Bengal while the exact location of the incident is not known yet.
FIR registered
In the video, it can be clearly seen that the stary dog has been trapped in a blue coloured net which is held by two men, while another man is mercilessly crushing the dog using a stick. While all this is happening, by standers are unfortunately seen acting as mute spectators, none of them being prompt enough to step forward to make a call to police or to even remotely try to resist what was happening.
Peta India posted a reply to the X user who had posted this video saying that an FIR has been registered into the incident by Sankrail PS under sections 428 & 429 of the IPC and 11 of PCA Act. It further said that the grant of bail was due to the offences being bailable in nature.
