Eyewitnesses said that the dog was simply lying in the corner when the tea seller, for reasons unexplained, attacked it with hot water. The incident has stimulated widespread outrage among inhabitants and animal welfare groups.
Senior Police Inspector and an animal lover, Sudhir Kudalkar, said he will personally speak to Senior Police Inspector Sanjiv Tawde of Kurar Police Station, Malad East. He has confirmed that an FIR will be registered tonight.
“This is nothing short of brutality. If we call ourselves human, we must act like it. Burning an innocent dog is a horrific act, and it must not go unpunished. We will pursue justice and ensure this doesn't get buried or ignored,” he stated in his post on Instagram.
Photos and videos of the injured dog have circulated widely on social media, generating emotional responses from citizens. Many are demanding stricter laws and swift justice for the voiceless victim.
The dog is now in stable condition but continues to suffer from burn injuries. Volunteers are assisting with medical care and shelter.
This heartbreaking incident has reignited the conversation around animal rights, with Mumbaikars demanding justice not just for this one dog, but for all innocent lives affected by human persecution.
