In a cruel act, a stray dog in the Worli area of Mumbai was beaten up by a group of guards, after the dog tried to enter a building during the heavy rains, reports India Today.

The incident took place on July 24, when a resident of the Turf View building in Mumbai, allegedly ordered the watchmen to beat up the dog in such a manner that no other animal also dares to enter the apartment premises in the future.

The watchmen followed the orders and beat the dog to the extent, that it went into a coma and is now struggling for life.

However, the founder of the animal rights group told Times of India that thee accused were let off by the police within 20 minutes.

"It took me more than 8 hours to lodge the FIR at the police station, however, when the accused people were summoned, they were released after just 20 minutes of completing the formalities. This again points out that we need to strengthen our animal rights laws as a preventive measure against such cruel crimes against mute animals."
