A man struck a pet dog, his owner, and at least two other members of their family with an iron rod in west Delhi’s Paschim Vihar because the animal barked at him -- an incident that led to widespread outrage after videos showing the brutal attack went viral on social media on Monday.

Several videos of the incident, caught on CCTV camera, show the man hurling the dog by his tail, and striking a blow with an iron rod on its head. The dog is then seen unconscious; as his owners try to revive him, Dahiya attacks the others.

According to Rakshit’s sister Jessica, on Sunday morning, Dahiya, who lives in the same locality, was walking with some street dogs near their ground-floor home when Scooby and the strays started barking at each other. “Scooby barking at the street dogs irked him, and he started yelling. Rakshit was standing with Scooby, and suddenly, Dahiya held Scooby by his tail and thew him. Rakshit immediately went to rescue Scooby, and he and Dahiya got into a scuffle. Scooby also attacked Dahiya because it was his natural instinct to save Rakshit and himself, “ she said, adding that her mother came out to defuse the situation.

“He first hit Scooby, and our dog became unconscious for a while. He then rushed to attack my uncle, and when Rakshit went to stop him, he attacked Rakshit also,” she said.
