Mumbai Police File Cases Against Illegal Horse-Drawn Carriages
Some people were using horse-drawn carriages (like a taxi) in Mumbai, India, but they were doing it in places and ways that weren't allowed.
The police found out because people like PETA India and Maneka Gandhi, who care about animals, complained.
They showed the police videos of the carriages breaking the rules.
As a result, the police filed three official reports against the owners of the carriages.
One report was because a carriage was being used illegally, and another was because the horses were being raced without permission.
The police are now looking into what happened.
Three FIRs were registered related to illegal horse-drawn carriages.

PETA India and Maneka Gandhi initiated complaints.
Gamdevi police acted on a video showing illegal carriage use.
