In a tragic incident, a dog died after pet owners from Haryana left the pooch locked in a car for several hours. The owners went to visit the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra. The pet dog died due to the heat, lack of ventilation, and no access to water. The animal was found inside the parked vehicle at Westgate Parking Taj.
A video of the incident has surfaced on the internet. The clip was shot by a passerby, it shows the pet dog laying motionless in the leg space of the four-wheeler.
The video drew the attention of the police officials to take necessary action to condemn the reckless behaviour. The UP Police promptly responded and asked the Agra police to investigate the matter.
"The concerned have been directed for necessary action," Agra police tweeted in Hindi.
