when she came across this disturbing video on social media. Maneka, who is also a well-known environmentalist and animal lover, found out that the video was shot in Chennai and has asked the Blue Cross to investigate the matter.    

In response to a mail received from her, Dawn Williams from the Blue Cross in Chennai investigated the matter and got hold of the video showing 2 men involved in animal brutality. The video shot inside a private institution shows two men dragging a dog down a fleet of stairs, with leashes around its chest and throat.
