A viral video showed that a horse collapsed in Kolkata when his dealer made it, triggered outrage and asked legal steps.

A disturbing video that shows a dehydrated and weak horse that suffers from heat stitch and collapses on a Kolkata street has triggered online outrage. The clip, which was widespread on social media, shows that the visibly malnourished horse is forced to pull a car near Bhowanipore. While the horse collapses, his dealer reacts by doing it to get it back on his feet.

Public outrage

The video that was posted by people for the ethical treatment of animals (PETA) India quickly obtained the indictment. Social media users expressed their anger, and many demanded that the handler be held accountable for cruelty. “It's so sad and it made me angry,” wrote a user. Another added: “He should be imprisoned. This is nothing less than abuse.”

In response to the video, PETA India submitted an official complaint against the handler. The Kolkata police quickly replied and confirmed that a first information report (FIR) had been registered on April 24, 2025 in connection with the incident. The police also assured the public that appropriate legal steps would be taken against the accused. In a statement, the Kolkata police wrote: “Bhowanipore PS has registered the FIR via the incident. Appropriate legal steps are taken against the person involved. The horse is under medical care with regular veterinary examinations.
