The Story in Brief
Maharashtra Animal Husbandry Minister Pankaja Munde has ordered an inquiry after a cat was allegedly thrown from the 12th floor of a building in Ambernath and killed. Freepressjournal.in reports that the incident occurred on July 26 in the Royal Flora Phase-2 complex, and a video of the act went viral, sparking outrage among animal welfare groups. Munde wrote to the Thane Superintendent of Police, urging immediate action under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. The police are expected to examine legal provisions and submit a report. A copy of the communication has also been sent to the Thane District Collector and the Deputy Commissioner of Animal Husbandry.
The Indian Opinion
Viral videos often force official action while routine complaints of animal cruelty go ignored. The minister’s letter is welcome, but the real test is whether the police file an FIR under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and name the suspect. Will the Thane SP’s inquiry produce charges within a week, or will this case, like many others, fade after the hashtags cool down?
