Vehicle driver intentionally crushes dog, video goes viral

A disturbing case of animal cruelty has come to light in the Ajit Nagar area, where a dog was intentionally run over by a car driver in the middle of the street on Monday. The incident was captured on a CCTV camera. A video of the same was also circulated on social media.

According to people present at the scene, the dog was sitting in the street when a car approached and ran directly over it. As the injured dog cried out in pain, instead of stopping, the driver reversed the car and drove over the animal again, causing severe injuries. The dog reportedly suffered a fractured spine and was rushed to the animal hospital.

Area resident Ramesh Bangar said the entire incident got captured in a CCTV camera. It looked intentional. The dog was just sitting there, not chasing or barking. The driver could have stopped or swerved. But he didn’t. He drove over it deliberately and then went back and forth.

A dog lover, Rajinderpal Singh, was passing by shortly after the incident. Hearing the canine’s cries, he stopped to help and spoke to local residents, who informed him about what had happened. After checking the footage and making enquiries, he identified the driver as Rahul, reportedly a government schoolteacher.

The residents also handed over the CCTV footage and the vehicle’s registration number (PB 10JF4124) to the police. A complaint was also lodged at Police Division 2 and officials have started a probe into the case.

Meanwhile, local animal welfare activists and residents are demanding strict action against the suspect, calling the act inhumane.
