SHOCKING: Men Force Horse To Smoke On Kedarnath Trek In A Viral Video; Raveena Tandon, Karishma Tanna React

Kedarnath has been one of the most holy places in the world. The stunning mountains surrounding the beautiful temple has undoubtedly fascinated thousand of travellers every year and has been one of the most travelled pilgrimages in India.

However, the holy city made the headlines for the most unfortunate reason as a video is going viral wherein two men were seen forcing a horse to smoke weed during the trek. The 27 second disturbing video featured a man closing the horse's mouth with his hands while another was seen putting the rolled paper in his nose and making him smoke forcibly. The horse was seen exhaling smoke a couple of seconds later.

The video has sparked outrage on social media with netizens demanding action against the accused. Karishma Tanna took to social media and shared a post regarding the shocking incident. She wrote, "Shockingly thousands of horses are still abused for public transportation even in this day and age. Most heart wrenching is their utter exploitation in Kedarnath where in the absence of infirmaries, hundreds of horses die every year. Nothing will change, if you don't speak up. Whoever is watching this video, I want you all to create awareness and spread the word".

Raveena Tandon also shared a tweet and demanded a strong action against the men in the video. She tweeted, "Can we put a stop to the constant abuse that horses are going through in our holy places? What karma or prayers are these people gaining, when the innocent are being tortured? This is a reel going viral from #kedarnath. Can these men be arrested? @pushkardhami ji @Manekagandhibjp @PMOIndia".
