Dog Beaten and Buried Alive in Ghaziabad; FIR Registered
In a town called Modinagar in India, a community dog was very badly hurt.
Some people reportedly hit the dog with sticks and a cricket bat.
Then they are accused of digging a hole and burying the poor hurt dog while it was still alive.
A video of the incident was shared, and caring people saw it.
Two brothers named Aman and Mukul are named in the official complaint.
PETA India, a big animal rights group, helped make sure the police registered the case.
Now the police are investigating what happened.
In India, hurting animals is a crime.
People who do this can be punished with up to five years in jail.
PETA India says people should always report animal cruelty to the police.
