Nepal woman pushes dog off bridge as canine resists, heartbreaking video sparks outrage

A video showed a woman pushing a dog off a bridge into Nepal's Seti river as the terrified animal struggled against the strong current. The footage prompted online outrage and a police investigation to identify her.

A woman in Nepal's Bajhang was seen forcibly pushing a dog into a river from a bridge, with the disturbing act captured on camera and triggering demands for police action.

The video showed the woman holding the dog with both hands as she stood on a bridge above Seti Gandaki river. The dog, visibly frightened, appeared to resist as the woman tried to move it towards the edge of the bridge. However, she seemingly did not care and eventually pushed the dog into the river below.

A heartbreaking scene is what viewers witnessed next as the dog struggled helplessly while being swept away by the river’s strong currents.

The circumstances surrounding the incident and what happened to the dog afterwards remained unclear.

As the video circulated on social media, users strongly criticised the woman and called for her arrest and legal action.

The police, in the meantime, have launched an investigation to identify the woman seen in the footage. Officials also confirmed that an investigation was underway.
