The canine’s unexpected presence at the controls led to significant traffic jam, much to the bewilderment and amusement of onlookers and commuters.
Apparently, the owner had left the pet alone inside the parked car. Despite the chaos around, the Husky did not seem rattled.
The video has been shared on Instagram by a user named @andheriloca with a caption that read, “Car parked right in the middle of Lokhandwala Main Market, causing major inconvenience. Shockingly, a pet dog was left sitting on the driver’s seat. This kind of careless & irresponsible parking deserves the choicest of punishment."
The viral video capturing the scene does not reveal the car’s owner, and it remains unclear why the vehicle was left parked in such a busy spot.
While many users found the incident amusing, others slammed the unidentified driver for creating chaos on the streets and risking the dog’s safety.
Netizens slam the owner
“Plz show the car number plate. Its very dangerous leaving a dog in a closed car. He could have died😡,” commented a user, while another said, “Pls arrest the car owner. This is an offence.”
A third one posted, “Beauty of Lokhandwala.. padhe likhe unpadh log.”
Another individual commented, “Why did you blur the car's registration number? No point making these videos then. The irresponsible driver should have been reported to the Traffic Police.”
