An incident in Sector 23, Gurugram, has led to public discussion after a man was filmed striking a community dog feeder with a stick. The video reportedly includes a reference to the Supreme Court’s recent order regarding stray dog feeding.
What Happened
The video shows the feeder riding a bike and speaking on a mobile phone when struck from behind with a stick by the accused. As bystanders intervened, the man was heard questioning the feeder: “Why are you here? Who sent you here despite the SC order?” He then added, “I’ll cut you into pieces and throw you somewhere,” a phrase that has since been widely circulated.
Legal Action
Gurugram Police confirmed they have registered a non-cognizable report (NCR) and assured that the accused would be arrested soon, with chargesheet proceedings to follow.
Rights Group Responds
The Instagram page “Gurgaon Dogs Adoption,” which first shared the video, stated that feeding community dogs is not illegal and that the Supreme Court has directed designated feeding spots but has not banned feeding.
Community Outrage and Mobilisation
The video made local citizens organize a public protest at 2:30 PM at Chakkarpur Police Station, Sector 28. The organizers requested that the police file an FIR against the accused and take action to prevent such incidents in the future.
Social Media Reactions
Netizens were equally shocked:
- One user remarked, “Strict action needs to be implemented against this man… hitting anyone is not acceptable in any situation. He is a threat to society.”
- Another noted the deteriorated sense of humanity, while a third urged municipalities to launch awareness campaigns in collaboration with NGOs about sterilization, vaccination, and responsible community dog feeding.
Why This Matters
This incident shows that tensions over stray dog policies remain high, even after the Supreme Court’s recent changes. It also reminds us that people who care for community animals can still face threats, even when following the law. Quick legal action and more public awareness are important to help people and animals live together safely.
