Dehradun, Mar 18 (ANI): The police horse Shaktimaan, who got his left hind leg amputated after being allegedly attacked by BJP MLA Ganesh Joshi, has found a friend in the United States who will donate him a prosthetic limb in order to make him stand again. Last night, it took two hours for the doctors to get his leg amputated, which according to them was successful. The horse's amputation surgery took place two days after his fractures were fixed by external fixation by a group of 10 doctors - six from Pantnagar and four district veterinary officers. Jamie Won of Maya Foundation, who owns a non-profitable animal rescue centre in the United States, said that she has contacted one of her friends who would get a leg donated for Shaktimaan. The BJP MLA had yesterday visited the injured animal and said that the horse needs better treatment and must be send to the national capital in that regard.
