A man in Navi Mumbai’s Kopar Khairane area was caught on camera brutally assaulting a 16-year-old stray dog with a thick wooden plank.

The incident was filmed and posted on Instagram by Mohammed Raiz, a member of the rescue team. In the video, the man is seen striking the defenceless dog multiple times with a heavy stick of plywood.

The footage quickly went viral on social media, sparking widespread outrage. Raiz praised the efforts of the People for Animals (PFA) Mumbai Unit 2, who led the rescue operation, The Times Of India reported.

The team — led by Vijay Rangare and including Raiz, Aditya, Tarun, and Sanket Bhatt — acted quickly, tracked down the accused, and confronted him. The dog was rescued and is now safe.

In a follow-up post, Raiz claimed that the attacker’s mother had provoked her son and later justified the violence. She reportedly said they would do it again if necessary. This statement added to the public anger already building online.

The video has received over 77,000 views, with users demanding justice and calling for strict action against the accused.

One user commented, “Please give him the same treatment he gave to the poor dog." Another wrote, “So much he beat the dog… please tell me, is the dog okay?"

As the video spread, local residents identified the man and confronted him in public. A crowd gathered and thrashed him.

In a widely shared clip, a woman is seen beating him with her slippers in the middle of the road, shaming him for his actions.

Providing an update on the dog’s condition, the Street Dogs of Bombay group shared on Instagram that the dog is now safe and recovering well.

“The senior dog who was badly beaten is now safe. He’s getting better, thanks to Dr. Kartik Iyer and his kind team. They are giving him all the care, love, and attention he needs. We’re hopeful he will soon go back to his usual spot at his little home on the street," the post stated.

“The man who hurt him said sorry. But let’s be honest, we were never looking for an apology. We want people to understand:You cannot hurt innocent animals and expect no one to speak up," it added.
