A shocking CCTV footage captured a distressing incident in a Gurugram apartment complex where a dog walker was seen brutally thrashing a golden retriever in an elevator. The incident took place in Orchid Gardens in Sector 54 on May 9, sending shockwaves through the community. The video shows the man, purportedly a dog walker, striking the dog with a litter scoop repeatedly. The violence escalates as he repeatedly hits the dog’s head and even traps its mouth in the scoop. Despite the relentless assault, the dog displays remarkable restraint and did not retaliate. The CCTV footage of the cruel act triggered outrage on among social media users, who called for stricter laws in India against animal cruelty.
Sharing the CCTV footage, an X user Vidit Sharma wrote, “Disturbing to see animal cruelty on the rise with little attention from mainstream media. Ignoring it only fuels aggression in our furry friends. It’s time to speak up and take action. Let’s protect both human and animal well-being.”

“Im not a dog lover but that seems so bad ! Man,” a user said. “Poor kid. Every hit just breaks my heart. How cruel.” Another said, “What the hell. Has he been arrested ? Why do ppl employ useless walkers ? For God’s sake take your own pet yourself.”
Last year in February, two men were arrested after a video of them punching and kicking a dog at a pet clinic in Maharashtra’s Thane went viral. The video showed the employees repeatedly punching the Chow Chow dog in the face while one of them filmed the incident.
