Target: Rashmi Shukla, Director General of Police, Maharashtra, India
Goal: Ensure strict investigation and full legal accountability after a puppy was allegedly sexually assaulted and violently abused.
A deeply disturbing case has emerged after a young puppy was allegedly sexually assaulted and beaten during a violent incident that came to light through a widely shared rescue video. According to police and animal welfare volunteers, the abuse was discovered following a tip-off that led officers and rescuers to intervene at a locked public facility, where the accused was detained after police forcibly gained entry.
The puppy was reportedly rescued in critical condition and rushed for emergency medical treatment. Animal welfare groups involved in the rescue said that the animal remains under intensive care and suffered severe physical trauma. Videos from the scene show public outrage as authorities arrived, reflecting the shock and anger felt by community members who witnessed the aftermath.
Police have confirmed that the accused has been detained and that a case is being processed under existing animal cruelty laws and relevant criminal provisions. However, officials have also acknowledged gaps in current legislation regarding sexual violence against animals, renewing urgent calls from animal welfare advocates for stronger legal protections and enforcement.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Director General of Police Shukla,
We are writing to express grave concern regarding the incident in which a very young puppy was allegedly sexually assaulted and violently beaten. According to police statements and rescue organizations, the animal was found in critical condition and required immediate medical intervention following a coordinated rescue operation.
The severity of the alleged abuse, combined with the vulnerability of the animal, underscores the urgent need for firm law enforcement action. Acts of sexual violence and brutality against animals are not only horrific in themselves but are widely recognized as indicators of broader threats to public safety.
We respectfully urge your office to ensure that all applicable legal provisions are fully enforced, that the investigation is conducted with urgency and transparency, and that accountability is pursued to the strongest extent permitted by law. We also urge support for strengthening legal frameworks to ensure that such acts are met with clear and meaningful consequences.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
