A five-year-old male dog was mercilessly beaten to death on Wednesday by locals in Mumbai's Chandivali. After the alleged incident, the animal rights activists lodged an FIR at Sakinaka police station.

Speaking to Times of India, animal activist Shruti Rai said, "I had come to know about the extreme animal cruelty through an Animal Feeders WhatsApp group where a video was uploaded of a young man hitting a dark brown coloured dog while an elderly woman was also seen standing close by. I rushed to Sangharsh Nagar Building Number 32, where the dog was lying with serious injuries."
