A widely circulated video showed Imran Yunus Shah dragging the injured dog away from the spot to dump it in a nullah.
MUMBAI: An FIR was lodged against a 31-year-old salesman after he allegedly thrashed a stray dog to death at Bhagat Singh Nagar of Goregaon (West) in Mumbai on Tuesday.
A widely circulated video showed Imran Yunus Shah dragging the injured dog away from the spot to dump it in a nullah.
PAL, an animal welfare group, filed the FIR against Imran at Bangur Nagar police station. The video is highly disturbing. The dog succumbed to its injuries. I myself contacted Bangur Nagar police station to ensure that the FIR is lodged today itself. It is gathered that the accused hit the dog with a heavy stick only because it had come close to his motorcycle and touched its seat cover, ACP (Anti-Corruption Bureau) and founder of PAL Sudhir Kudalkar said.

Malad-based society is under scanner after remains of dogs were found recently
Activists have written to the BMC, the state government and the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) urging them to cancel the licence of Malad-based NGO Universal Animal Welfare Society over ill-treatment and death of
animals.

Later, an FIR was registered. Taking cognisance of complaints, the Animal Welfare Board of India asked the Commissioner of Animal Husbandry to investigate the Universal Animal Welfare Society and take appropriate action as per law against the erring officials and forward the action taken report to it immediately.
