Bengaluru Driver Runs Over Sleeping Dog, Shocking Footage Caught on CCTV
News 18A Bengaluru man who was driving an Audi ran over a dog that was sleeping by the side of the streets in a gruesome incident. It occurred in Bengaluru’s Jayanagar and was captured in CCTV footage that soon went viral on social media. The CCTV footage of the incident drew widespread ire on social media, with people demanding strict action against the perpetrator. Last year, an online petition started by two animal welfare organisations called for an amendment to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1970, highlighting the frail implementation of laws against animal violence. Delhi-based People for Animals in association with US-based Humane Society International had urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to raise the penalty against animals cruelty from a mere Rs 50.
