Case Registered Against Elderly Man for Pushing Cat Off 12th Floor in Ambernath

A case is being registered against an elderly man for allegedly pushing a cat to its death from the 12th floor of the Royal Flora building in Palegaon, Ambernath. The incident reportedly took place on July 26 at approximately 5:30 pm in the A Wing of the residential complex.

The matter came to light after a viral video circulating on social media captured the shocking act. In the video clip, the elderly man can be seen slowly approaching a cat that was walking along the wall of a duct on the 12th floor of the building. He allegedly pushed the cat off the structure, causing the animal to fall from the high-rise floor and die.

The circulating video shows the elderly man leaving the spot immediately after allegedly pushing the cat, sparking public outrage. Accompanying commentary on the video claims that a family member of the elderly person stated he is mentally unwell. However, the online claims question whether an individual with mental illness should be permitted to remain unsupervised if he poses a potential danger to others after committing such an act.

The video post further alleges that mental illness should not be used as an excuse for such a serious incident, stating that the man requires proper care and constant supervision. It demands a formal investigation into the matter to ensure that similar acts of cruelty do not happen again in the area.

Residents of the Royal Flora building who learned about the incident voiced strong outrage and demanded that a police complaint be filed against the man to hold him accountable. Following the widespread reaction, authorities began registering a case against the elderly individual under the Animal Protection Act. Further details are awaited as an investigation remains underway to determine the exact reason behind his alleged actions and what led to the fatal incident.
