Sharing the CCTV footage, Vidit Sharma wrote on X, “It’s disturbing to witness the increasing cases of animal cruelty with minimal attention from mainstream media.

One user questioned, “Has he been arrested? Why do people hire incompetent walkers? For goodness’ sake, take care of your own pet.” Another user expressed, “I feel so sorry for the poor dog. Every strike just shatters my heart. How cruel.”

A third user demanded, “Authorities must take action against this person who may be committing these acts for some twisted sense of enjoyment.”

Significantly, society removed the dog walker after the CCTV footage went viral.

Previously, online outrage erupted following the emergence of a disturbing video from a Thane pet clinic in Maharashtra. The footage depicted two employees mercilessly assaulting a Chow Chow dog. The men were recorded repeatedly punching the defenseless animal in the face, with one even filming the cruelty.
