Viral Video Shows Assault On Community Dog Feeder
In the viral clip, the accused can be seen striking the feeder with a stick before attempting to hit him again. During the altercation, the attacker questions the victim, saying, “Why are you here? Who sent you here despite the SC order?” The situation escalates further when the man threatens the feeder’s life, declaring, “I’ll cut you into pieces and throw you somewhere.”
The video was first posted on Instagram by the page Gurgaon Dogs Adoption, which highlighted the gravity of the assault while clarifying the legality of community feeding.

A public gathering has been announced for 2:30 pm today at the Chakkarpur Police Station in Sector 28, Gurgaon.
