No one had heard of Shaktiman ,the police horse, until Monday when it was brutally assaulted with a stick allegedly by Uttarakhand Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Ganesh Joshi and his associates.The horse went through a 5-hour long surgery on Tuesday, handled by a team of 10 doctors . Shaktiman's leg had to be amputated since the blood supply to the injured portion of its leg had stopped. The horse has served Uttarakhand police for 10 years and therefore, the senior police superintendent said, that they will prefer to keep Shaktiman in its home (stable).
