An advocate has served a legal notice to the managing committee of actor Tinnu Anand’s housing society after he threatened to hit dogs with a hockey stick for barking at him.
Anand had posted a message warning dog lovers to take their pets home or face his wrath. This message sparked outrage among animal lovers and led to criticism from the public and fellow actors.
The advocate accused Anand of promoting animal cruelty and criminal intimidation, urging the society to take preventive action.
She demanded a formal warning against Anand, an internal advisory on legal duties toward street animals, and measures to prevent violence or threats against animals and caregivers within the society. The society was warned of legal consequences if it fails to act.
Anand defended his statement, citing incidents where his daughter and others were attacked by stray dogs, justifying his right to self-defense.
The legal notice highlights the society’s duty to protect community animals and maintain peace.
