An animal cruelty case has been registered at Guwahati Railway Station following an incident on October 1 in which chicks were kicked onto the railway tracks. PETA-India worked with local animal rights activist Aditi Bakshi to lodge the formal complaint after video footage of the incident emerged.
The incident, captured on video, prompted swift action from animal welfare organisations operating in the region. The involvement of both national and local animal protection advocates resulted in the filing of the FIR under relevant sections addressing animal cruelty.
The case marks a continuing effort by animal rights groups to address instances of animal abuse across transport hubs and public spaces in India. Railway stations remain focal points for such initiatives, given the large volumes of animals transported and handled daily at these facilities.
Authorities have registered the case and further investigation into the incident is underway. The development reflects growing public awareness and legal action against animal cruelty offences in the region.
