On March 9, a video surfaced showing a grey langur being transported on a motorbike along Sector 14 Road in Rohtak, Haryana, with its tail bleeding. This incident has sparked outrage among animal activists and environmentalists, who allege that it constitutes animal cruelty and violates the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. Deepika Srivastava, an environmentalist from Gurugram, reported the incident to the police and wildlife department, emphasizing that possessing the langur is illegal and highlights several violations, including unauthorized transportation and causing unnecessary suffering to the animal. The police are currently investigating the matter but have faced criticism for their slow response and procedural hurdles imposed on the complainant. A senior police officer stated that verifying the original evidence is crucial for the investigation. Wildlife officials have indicated that they can take action once they receive confirmed details about the vehicle owner. Haryana's forest and wildlife minister, Rao Narbir Singh, has assured that the government takes such violations seriously and will conduct a thorough inspection of the incident.
