Disgusting! 2 Men Forcefully Make Horse Smoke Weed On Trek To Kedarnath Temple;

In a disgusting incident from the divine hills of Uttarakhand, two horse operations were seen forcefully making the animal puff a weed. The unacceptable act of animal cruelty was caught on camera on the route to Kedarnath temple. Netizens shared the video online and drew the attention of police officials in this regard.
Details from viral video
The video is both disturbing and concerning as it raises eyebrows about the safety of tourists and pilgrims who would board such drug-consumed horses. Also, it goes unsaid that the inhuman act done by the two horse operations would lead to health concerns for the animal.
Despite the horse trying to take its face away from the weed roll, the miscreants don’t let it happen. They force the animal to smoke weed by inserting the roll almost into its nostrils. The duo is seen tightly holding and closing the horse’s mouth to ensure that it consumes the intoxicant.
Police respond
In a reply to the viral video, the Uttarakhand Police tweeted that they are looking into the matter. “We have taken cognizance of the viral video wherein a horse is forcefully given smoke. We are trying to identify the men in the video,” they said.
Meanwhile, the police force also appealed to the people to inform them about such horrific incidents on an immediate basis. “Appeal: Such incidents should be reported to the nearby police on duty or on 112 for immediate action.”
Understanding what mules & horses are going through at Kedarnath trek
The plight of the domesticated animals used as a means of transport in Uttarakhand has come to the fore in recent days and the picture is saddening. Reportedly, the mules and horses which carry pilgrims on the Chardham Yatra to their destinations are treated with negligence and also assaulted by the operators.
According to a news media report, the equines on the Kedarnath route were made to overwork, beaten with sticks, and supplied narcotics. The reason behind this was allegedly to make up for the losses suffered in the past as the region was hit by massive floods in 2013, followed by the pandemic that burned the pockets of these horse and mule operators.
Animal activists raise voices, seek action against culprits
An animal welfare expert named Gauri Maulekhi shared several videos of how the animals used for transport at Kedarnath suffered painfully to death. The videos were tweeted online with the view to draw the attention of authorities to the matter and seek care and assistance for the animals. Maulekhi asked PM Modi and Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami to intervene and take necessary action at the earliest.
It was also noted that Indian actress and Scoop-fame Karishma Tanna voiced out in this regard. Creating awareness and spreading the word about the plight of animals in the region, she says in a video, “When you want to take darshan at Kedarnath, and somebody is dying in the process, how can leave it unnoticed… For some money, these animals are ‘used’ until they die.” “You went for ‘theerth yatra’, but did paap (sin) instead,” she adds while pointing out that thousands of horses are abused for public transportation and their exploitation is heart-wrenching.
One of the pilgrims confirmed the disheartening practices being administered to the animals there. “I am on a Kedarnath trek and I can tell you that this (viral video of locals drugging horses) is 100% true,” she said. In her footage, another incident of a hose forcefully being made to smoke weed was caught on camera.
Animal welfare groups started the “Save Our Horses” campaign throwing light on the cruelty done towards the animals at Kedarnath.

Pahalgam terror attack: NIA arrests two men for harbouring terrorists

New Delhi: In a major breakthrough in the Pahalgam terror attack case, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested two men for allegedly harbouring the terrorists who carried out the heinous attack.
The accused have been identified as Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar from Batkote, and Bashir Ahmad Jothar of Hill Park. Both Batkote and Hill Park are in Pahalgam.
They purportedly disclosed the identities of the three armed terrorists involved in the attack, and also confirmed that they were from Pakistan and affiliated to the proscribed terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
“Parvaiz and Bashir had knowingly harboured the three armed terrorists at a seasonal dhok [hut] at Hill Park before the attack, as per NIA investigations. The two men had provided food, shelter and logistical support to the terrorists, who had, on the fateful afternoon, selectively killed the tourists on the basis of their religious identity, making it one of the most gruesome terrorist attacks ever,” the agency said.
The NIA has arrested the two accused under Section 19 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
Twenty-six people were killed and 16 were grievously injured in the terror attack in Pahalgam. The incident brought India and Pakistan close to war. At least 10 houses of suspects were also dismantled in the Kashmir Valley.
The Jammu & Kashmir Police had also released the sketches of three suspects. The police announced a reward of ₹20 lakh for those who provide information about their whereabouts.
According to the police, Adil Hussain Thoker, a resident of Anantnag, and Ali Bhai alias Talha Bhai and Hasim Musa alias Suleiman of Pakista were involved in the terrorist attack on civilians in Pahalgam’s Baisaran meadow.
Thoker, according to the police records, exfiltrated into Pakistan or Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in 2018. The Thoker-led group was believed to active for the past one year in the region. Further investigations are going on.

Delhi: Three thieves arrested, six stolen phones recovered

crime
New Delhi, June 20: Three thieves were arrested and six stolen mobile phones were recovered along with a dummy pistol and a scooter used in multiple crimes by the Tilak Marg Police in Delhi, an official said on Friday.
The accused have been identified as Arbaz (22) of Sarai Kale Khan, Pankaj Mourya (22) of Jungpura, and Rahul Bagh (26) of Chirag Delhi.
“Six stolen mobile phones, one dummy pistol and a scooter used in the crime were recovered from the accused,” said Delhi Police in a statement.
The official said that the arrested accused had been selling stolen mobile phones on e-commerce platforms using fake Aadhaar cards and forged invoices.
The breakthrough in the case came after a complaint was filed by a Blinkit delivery boy, who reported the theft of his mobile phone, stating that it was stolen while he was delivering an order on Pandara Road.
The accused had tricked him by pretending to make an online payment before fleeing with his mobile phone. An E-FIR (No. 80056549/2025) was registered under Section 303(2) BNS at PS Tilak Marg on June 13, 2025.
A special team led by SI Kamlesh Kumar, along with HC Sanjeet Kumar, Ct. Jhabbar Mal and Ct. Ram Tyagi worked under the supervision of SHO Gurmail Singh and ACP Nageen Kaushik to crack the case.
CCTV footage from the area showed the culprits fleeing on a scooter. Order details from Blinkit and further analysis of internet logs helped police trace one suspect to Sarai Kale Khan. However, he vacated the premises a month ago.
Using technical surveillance and informants, police eventually tracked the trio to a rented house in Chhatarpur.
So far, three E-FIRs from Tilak Marg, Kalkaji, and Vasant Kunj South, and one lost report from Sunlight Colony, have been worked out with these arrests.
The official said that further investigation is underway to uncover the full extent of the racket and recover additional stolen items.
