A dispute over a pet dog led to a scuffle between residents at an apartment complex in Varthur,prompting police to register complaints from both sides and launch an investigation.
According to police,the incident occurred at Brigade Utopia Apartment,where resident Tarun Arora had taken his pet dog to a designated walking and exercise area meant primarily for senior citizens.
Some elderly residents objected to the presence of the dog in the area and questioned why it had been brought there.The situation reportedly escalated after the dog defecated at the spot, leading to a heated argument.
Following the incident,Tarun Arora filed a complaint at Varthur Police Station alleging harassment.
Meanwhile,a woman who was present at the spot also lodged a counter-complaint,accusing Arora of threatening her during the altercation.
Police said CCTV footage from the apartment premises is being examined as part of the investigation.The footage reportedly shows an argument between the parties and a physical scuffle in which a group of residents allegedly confronted Arora and knocked his phone from his hand.
Officials said such disputes are increasingly being reported in apartment complexes,often arising from disagreements over common space usage. Police are continuing the probe after recording statements from both sides.
