Shaktimaan, a 14-year-old horse in the police service, was allegedly beaten up by BJP’s Mussoorie MLA, Ganesh Joshi. The horse was left with a broken leg, which later had to be amputated.
On Saturday, a statue of the horse was installed in Dehradun as a tribute. However, it was removed on Tuesday morning, reported NDTV.
According to the report, Harish Rawat, the Uttarakhand Chief Minister who had visited Shaktimaan when she was injured, said:
Shaktimaan succumbed to her injuries earlier this year in April. Before her death, an incredibly generous gesture was shown by Tim Mahoney, a 54-year-old residing in Kentucky, who traveled over 12,000 km to Dehradun and deliver a prosthetic limb to the injured Shaktimaan.
