Mumbai: A shocking incident took place at a railway station when a dog was dragged by a moving Rajdhani Express train due to its owner's reckless attempt to board the train while it was already in motion.
The unfortunate event reportedly took place near Bogie no. 193751, where the pet owner, displaying negligence, held onto the dog’s leash while trying to catch the departing train. This led to the dog being pulled forcefully along the platform before slipping into the gap between the train and the tracks.
Viral Video Shows Shocking Scenes
A disturbing video of the incident has since gone viral, showing the harrowing moments as the train gained speed. At the beginning of the clip, the man, dressed in a blue t-shirt and jeans, is seen standing near the moving train with his dog.
Within seconds, he attempts to board the train by grabbing onto a door handle, dragging his pet along. Tragically, the dog struggles to keep up and is eventually pulled into the dangerous gap between the train and the platform. As the train continues moving, the man is seen looking around frantically, seemingly searching for his pet.
Despite the horrifying nature of the incident, reports citing unverified sources claim that the dog miraculously survived the ordeal. However, this information is yet to be confirmed. The exact time and location of the incident is also not known yet.
Legal Action Demanded Against Pet Owner
However, the viral video has sparked widespread outrage among animal lovers and activists. Many have condemned the owner's irresponsible behaviour, calling it an act of sheer negligence. The incident also led to demands for legal action against the pet owner under the BNS sections related to animal cruelty. Several activists have stressed the need for stricter regulations regarding pet safety in public spaces, especially at railway stations where such accidents can have tragic consequences.
