The CCTV footage captures the tragic moment when the dog falls to the ground with a violent impact, instantly succumbing to the fall.
Speaking to The Indian Express, Rawat revealed that Sushmita Jaiswal, a dog feeder and resident of the same society, informed her about the incident.
According to Jaiswal, who also spoke to the publication, the incident came to light when a society member informed her that a female dog had died after being thrown from the seventh floor around 11:30 am on June 20.
“The security guard took the picture and shared it with our society’s WhatsApp group. After I confirmed it with the guard, we started looking for the CCTV footage. After two days, we got footage but only from the ground floor,” Jaiswal said.
“We were used to feeding these dogs. She was a smart and sensible dog. The boundary walls of the terrace are four feet tall, so the dog can’t jump on her own, she added.
Additionally, Station House Officer (Bisrakh) Arvind Kumar stated that as of now, no FIR had been filed. “We are investigating the CCTV footage and then will look into the matter,” he noted.
The identity of the person responsible for throwing the dog still remains unclear.
