Park opened in memory of beloved police horse Shaktiman in Dehradun
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat will on Monday inaugurate the 'Shaktiman Park' named after police horse 'Shaktiman', who was critically maimed in a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rally carried out by MP Ganesh Joshi earlier on 14 March.
The 'Shaktiman Park' has been constructed in Dehradun Police Line.
Shaktiman was a well-trained 13-year-old horse of the Uttarakhand Mounted Police for many years.
When the horse was deployed by the police during a BJP rally, MP Ganesh Joshi had allegedly attacked the horse's leg with a lathi, critically injuring it for the remainder of its days.
The outrage over this incidence of gross animal abuse grew so large that MP Ganesh Joshi was briefly arrested.
Almost a month after losing his left hind leg in the attack, the white-coloured Kathiawari horse succumbed to its injuries on 20 April.
