Gurgaon: Pet Dog Dispute Escalates into Violent Brick Attack in Faridabad
A seemingly minor neighbourhood disagreement over a pet dog spiraled into a violent confrontation in Faridabad, resulting in injuries to a young student and her mother. The incident, which occurred on Friday in the Surya Vihar Part 3 locality of the Sehatpur area, has shocked the local community and prompted police intervention.
Details of the Altercation
According to the police complaint, the victim, identified as Komal (20), objected when her neighbour, Dheeraj Yadav, brought his dog in front of her house. This spot had reportedly become a frequent site for the animal to defecate, causing ongoing tension. On Friday, when Yadav allegedly approached with the dog again, Komal asked him to refrain from bringing the pet there. This simple request quickly ignited a heated argument.
An officer involved in the case stated, "The accused reacted aggressively and insisted on making the dog defecate there, refusing to back down despite the victim's objections." The situation deteriorated rapidly, with tempers flaring on both sides.
Violent Escalation and Injuries
The verbal dispute soon turned physical. In a shocking turn of events, Dheeraj Yadav allegedly picked up a brick and struck Komal on the head. The blow caused a deep wound and significant bleeding. Hearing her daughter's screams, Komal's mother rushed outside to intervene and protect her child.
Unfortunately, she too became caught in the scuffle and sustained injuries during the chaotic confrontation. Alerted by the commotion, neighbours gathered at the scene and promptly took both injured women to a nearby medical facility for urgent treatment. Police officials confirmed that while the injuries were serious, they were not life-threatening, offering some relief to the concerned family and community.
Police Response and Legal Action
Based on Komal's formal complaint, the Palla police station has registered a case under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The charges include voluntarily causing hurt, voluntarily causing grievous hurt, and criminal intimidation. An investigation has been initiated, with officers diligently recording statements from the victims and eyewitnesses to piece together the exact sequence of events.
A police officer provided an update, saying, "The role of the accused is being thoroughly verified, and further legal action will be taken based on the evidence collected. Our priority is to ensure justice for the victims."
Currently, the accused, Dheeraj Yadav, is reported to be absconding. Law enforcement agencies have launched a manhunt and are employing various methods to trace his whereabouts. The community remains on edge as authorities work to apprehend him and bring closure to this distressing incident.
Broader Implications
This violent episode highlights how everyday neighbourhood disputes can escalate dangerously if not managed properly. It underscores the importance of community dialogue and conflict resolution mechanisms to prevent minor irritations from turning into serious criminal matters. Residents of Surya Vihar Part 3 are now reflecting on the need for better communication and mutual respect among neighbours to maintain harmony and safety in their locality.
