Police sub-inspector A A Sonawane, the investigating officer in the case said, “We have started making inquiries based on the complaint filed by PAWS. We have also visited the alleged owner’s house. Neighbours claim the family has left town. We’ll interrogate the family, as soon as they return.”
The police also have in their possession the carriage the horses were pulling when the accident occurred. Sunish Subramanian, secretary of PAWS, who took a close look at the carriage said, “It looks like the left tyre came off, causing the carriage to tilt. This put pressure on the horses’ harness causing it to break and the animals were flung off.”
