“This is a very disturbing incident involving a pet and 2 of our groomers. As pet parents and animal lovers, this is shocking and completely unacceptable to us. As a first step, we immediately terminated both and registered a formal investigation into it. We are also working alongside the authorities and have initiated police action in this matter,” a spokesperson for Thane told the Free Press Journal (FPJ ).

Nilesh Bhange, an office bearer of animal rights organization PAWS, and a few other people filed a non-cognizable complaint after the video went viral on social media, an official told the news agency PTI. A magistrate’s order is required before the police can look into a non-cognizable complaint, according to reports.

Later, a video of the dog was uploaded on the Instagram page of Street Dogs of Bombay, where the organization claims to be “Being the voice for all animals”.

The dog, three-year-old Tofu, is currently in a stable condition, Street Dogs of Bombay said, while thanking the public and the police for their quick response to the incident.
