Identity of the perpetrator unknown 

Due to the absence of cameras on individual floors within the tower, the footage exclusively recorded the dog’s fall. "We are convinced that someone threw the dog from the terrace, but we do not know the identity of the perpetrator," Sushmita emphasized.

What animal activist said? 

Animal activist Surbhi Rawat expressed concern, stating, "We await footage from an additional CCTV camera to gather clues about the culprit responsible, ensuring appropriate action can be taken."

No police case till now 

Currently, no First Information Report (FIR) has been filed in connection with the incident. Police authorities have assured ongoing investigations into the matter.
