And if that wasn’t enough, after abusing the young infant, the men shamelessly flung the bloodied animal back into the river.
The exact location of the incident is not known yet but, the place where this incident took place was somewhere between Kolkata and Burdwan.
After noted environmentalist, Biswajit Roychowdhury’s organization complained about the incident to the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, the matter has been put under investigation.
This viral video has also sparked outrage online and people just can’t believe their eyes. The way this helpless infant was mercilessly tortured is just sad.
It seems lockdown hasn’t been able to root out the ‘viruses’ responsible for the disappearance of the dolphins from river in first place. Young #gangetic #Dolphin was literally tortured to death by bunch of young men https://t.co/L4S8OiThyd

Will @MamataOfficial govt will take action in favour of endangered species and the culprits who are torturing river dolphin? https://t.co/dJ46DhXEk9
Dolphins are emotional animals with individualistic personalities. Having said that no animal should suffer at the hands of beasts& such men shouldn’t walk free @KolkataPolice @girirajsinghbjp @MamataOfficial we need strict laws

We hope stringent action is taken against the culprits. No animal deserves to be tortured this way. This is just unacceptable.
