Two separate videos surfaced, both showing the owners of horse mules subjecting the innocent animals to inhale cigarette smoke through their nostrils. The Rudraprayag police swiftly responded to the distressing footage and initiated an investigation. After careful examination, they identified one of the videos as originating from Tharu Camp in Choti Lancholi, a stopping place for the Kedarnath Dham Yatra in the Rudraprayag district.
