On Wednesday, Shaktiman, the 14-year-old police horse , which became a popular name after its leg was cut away following an injury during a BJP protest in Dehradun, yesterday he passed away due to infection at around 5:30 pm

“Though Shaktiman got the artificial limb, it was not working well and he was putting his entire weight on the other leg. That is why the infection spread. Today also a lot of care was taken and eight doctors attended to the horse. It is sad that we could not save him,” said R S Meena, IG, law and order, Uttarakhand.

BJP MLA Ganesh Joshi, who was charged of hitting the horse in the leg amid the protest and later arrested for it, paid tributes. While, Union minister Maneka Gandhi wanted that those responsible for the 'murder' should be punished.

“Shaktiman was a police officer on duty and the person who put him through so much pain and finally killed him should be arrested for killing a police officer,” she said.
