According to Shastri Nagar SHO Jogendra Singh, Dr. Rajneesh Gwala has been charged with violating Sections 428 of the Indian Penal Code (mischief by murdering or maiming animals) and Section 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act (handling animals cruelly).
Calls to Gwala did not elicit any response. Dr Dilip Kachawaha, principal and controller of S N Medical College, reported that Gwala has been served with a show cause notice requesting his response within 24 hours.

The alleged video shows Gwala driving the car while some commuters recorded his behaviour and even saved the dog after stopping his car. Police, according to the manager of the shelter house, was hesitant to comply at first.
"Despite our plea to release the ambulance so that the injured dog might be treated, police unnecessarily hauled it to the police station and detained it there for more than an hour. The doctor had an influence over how the police behaved and that it took two hours before an FIR was filed," he said.
