A violent altercation over a barking pet dog took a gruesome turn in Uttar Pradesh’s Noida district, where a man was brutally attacked and had his nose slashed by his neighbours.

The incident occurred on July 8 in Nat Ki Madaiya village and has led to the arrest of two accused, while police continue to search for a third.

Dog scolding triggers brutal assault

The victim, Devendra, was reportedly at his residence when he reprimanded his neighbour’s dog for barking. According to a complaint filed by his father, Sukhbir Singh, this led to a violent reaction from the dog's owner, Satish, along with his brother Amit and son Tushar.


The three allegedly emerged from their home and began assaulting Devendra and his wife, Munni Devi. The FIR states that during the assault, the attackers used a sharp object to slice Devendra's nose before fleeing the scene.

Devendra was immediately taken for medical treatment and has since undergone stitches to his nose. He is currently admitted to a hospital in Aligarh for further care.
