A man was arrested in Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha district after he brutally beat a puppy with a stick in front of its mother. The incident, caught on camera, sparked outrage online, leading to swift action from local authorities.
Captured by a bystander, the video shows the man holding the puppy by its neck as it cries in pain. He then hits it multiple times with a cane before hurling the injured animal onto the road at a distance. The mother dog, seen standing nearby, rushes to her puppy immediately after the assault.
The video was shared on X by user Mahender Mahi, a journalist, as per his bio. He wrote in the caption, “This video is said to be from Amroha district in Uttar Pradesh. Amroha police, please take action against this person because this is not a human but an animal.”

The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act of 1960 prohibits acts such as beating, overloading, neglect or killing animals unnecessarily. The government introduced the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Amendment) Bill, 2022, which proposes categorising offences towards animals as minor, severe or gruesome, with harsher penalties, including up to Rs 75,000 in fines and five years of imprisonment for serious offences like mutilation or killing.
The amendment also introduces the concept of the “five freedoms” for animals, ensuring they are free from hunger, discomfort, pain, and fear and can express natural behaviour. The new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023 also strengthens penalties for maiming or killing animals under Section 325.
