While on the one hand, railway engineers sawed off a portion of a Vile Parle station bridge last week to rescue a trapped kitten and a Mercedes owner took on Rs 10,000 worth of damage to his car to rescue a cat stuck in the engine, on the other, some residents of an Oshiwara society burnt a cat alive on Monday.

Animal lover Shahnaz Butt, 48, who lives at Gamdevi Mahada Complex behind Oshiwara Police Station, has alleged that someone tied her three-year-old cat Soha to a tree branch and set her on fire. Butt, who takes care of 80 stray cats and dogs inside the complex said the video of Soha has gone viral, where one can see that her face has been completely burnt and her legs are tied.
