A horrific incident took place in Mumbai’s Mulund (West) neighbourhood recently, where a 30-year-old labourer allegedly raped a female dog in a society’s car parking bay on Thursday. A similar incident happened a few weeks ago when a dog named ‘Noorie’ was sexually assaulted inside a shopping complex in Mumbai’s Powai area.
How it happened
The accused, Shobhnath Saroj, took the dog to a small room at the parking bay, where he sexually assaulted her after tying up her mouth with a rope. Locals and some security guards, on hearing muffled cries of the dog, rushed to the room and found her bleeding from the vagina. They also noticed stains of blood on the floor. Consequently, they realized what had happened there.
Brij Bhanishali, a member of an NGO named Om Foundation, said, “On Thursday afternoon, I received a call from a Mulund-based contact informing that a white coloured female dog had been raped by a worker in the car parking bay of a society close to Mulund (West). I told them to call the police by dialling 100 emergency number till the time I reach the spot.”
Accused arrested
The police was informed about the incident and the accused was arrested. A case has been registered against him under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code and 11(1)(a) of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. Meanwhile, the dog was taken to an animal hospital for medical examination.
In another incident, a 42-year-old man, who is a rickshaw driver by profession, sexually assaulted a cow in Devbhoomi Dwarka district of Gujarat last week. He was arrested after a video of the alleged crime went viral on social media. Police suspect that the accused is suffering from some mental disorder.
