The dog eventually died of her injuries&#8230; The video of the dog being beaten up was shared on Twitter on July 5 by animal activist Kaveri Bharadwaj through her handle @TheDogMother.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The disturbing video shows a man slamming a dog against a wall hard and then letting her drop to the floor. Two men are then seen hitting a dog on the mouth. There are visuals of injuries on the dog&#8217;s leg and mouth. Another video went viral on Instagram in which a woman claiming to be a staff at the animal care centre describes the torture the dog went through. The BJP MP was strongly criticised over the incident after the videos spread on social media&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Maneka Gandhi said in her statement that the incident &#8220;has shocked us all to the core&#8221;. &#8220;I have been personally seething with rage and have been sick to my stomach since I watched the horrifying video. We immediately filed an FIR against the para-vets and they have been arrested. The doctor in-charge of the section has been given a notice to leave. But this is not enough,&#8221; the statement said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She added that the 40-year-old care centre has &#8220;faltered in its mission and needs to be rebuilt again&#8221;. She said the hospital will be shut down for &#8220;a complete overhaul&#8221;. &#8220;We will rebuild this institution again &#8212; physically (with the entire dog section rebuilt, with new infrastructure) and more importantly, in terms of staffing.&#8221; Maneka Gandhi said they will &#8220;overhaul the hospital management and its staff completely, while ensuring everyone working there is provided with animal sensitivity-training&#8221;. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/after-video-of-cruelty-against-dog-maneka-gandhi-shuts-her-animal-centre-2483642\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>SOURCE&#8230;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qrcQylQ9gI4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZpF8QHmzu2I\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAIKAR KUMAR BOSE: The Sanjay Gandhi Animal Care Centre in Delhi, helmed by animal rights activist and BJP MP Maneka Gandhi, has been shut down &#8220;for a complete overhaul&#8221; after videos of cruelty against a stray dog undergoing treatment there went viral.
