Shaktiman, the Uttarkhand police horse, which died on Wednesday did not lose his will to live till the end, despite his horrific injury.
A video, posted by filmmaker Vinod Kapri, claims to show Shaktiman two hours before he died. Shaktiman is seen frail, limping on his prosthetic leg, but chewing grass.
The video is depressing, shows the plight of the once majestic police horse.
Shaktiman’s caretaker, Shyam Singh Chauhan, said he fought till the end. "He did not give up eating, he showed his will to fight back and survive," Chauhan told NDTV.
The 13-year-old horse broke his leg allegedly after repeated assault during a BJP rally last month.
Ganesh Joshi, a BJP MLA, who has been blamed for attacking Shaktiman, was arrested last month and then released on bail.
