Maha: FIR against illegal horse-drawn carriage in Mumbai

Mumbai, Jun 2 (UNI) An FIR (first information report) was registered against an illegal horse carriage operator following a complaint by PETA India, officials said here on Monday.
The incident occurred on Babulnath’s Seaface Junction in the Gamdevi area of south Mumbai, where a horse-drawn carriage was spotted despite the Bombay High Court's 2015 ban on such vehicles.
The FIR was filed at Gamdevi police station under Sections 3 and 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The complaint was based on a video by a vigilant citizen Urvi Shah, a resident of Malabar Hill, who witnessed a Victoria carriage transporting people in the Gamdevi area. She immediately recorded a video of the incident and reported it to Saloni Sakaria (32), the Mumbai coordinator for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
