Mumbai News: A man in Mumbra, near Mumbai, killed a stray dog and was later seen handling one of its eyeballs on a public road. The incident took place on Tuesday evening, shocking passers-by.
The NDTV report cited Witnesses as reporting that, the man removed the dog’s eye and handled it casually in full view of onlookers. Videos of the act quickly went viral on social media, prompting immediate public outrage.
Police Action And Legal Case
Disturbed citizens alerted the Mumbra police, who registered a case under Section 325 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for causing grievous hurt, along with provisions of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. Animal welfare groups also approached the police, demanding strict action against the accused. Authorities are investigating the matter further.
In separate news, Mumbai’s Economic Offences Wing has filed a case against Yash Builders and its proprietor, Paras Dedhia, after Axis Bank accused him of cheating in connection with a Rs 16.49 crore loan sanctioned for his Deonar project, Yash Signature.
According to the complaint from Axis Bank’s Nariman Point branch, Dedhia had earlier taken a loan from IIFL in 2015 using flats and offices in Yash Signature as collateral. He later secured funding from Axis Bank in 2016, mortgaging multiple properties, including Yash Heights in Govandi and commercial spaces in Masjid Bandar. Loan terms required him to route sales through an escrow account and repay dues.
The bank alleged Dedhia failed to follow conditions, defaulted by 2017, and was declared a defaulter in 2018. Investigations revealed he and his wife sold off mortgaged properties without mandatory clearances. Axis Bank claims the amount was misappropriated, constituting criminal breach of trust.
