The woman, identified as Sanjana in the complaint, said the incident began around 7:40 pm when she and a neighbour saw someone throwing stones at a dog. When they questioned him, the dog and two others barked at and frightened a young girl nearby. As Sanjana rushed to help the child, the girl's family emerged. Another resident allegedly shouted 'kill the dogs' in Telugu twice, inciting two family members to chase the dogs with stones. Sanjana claimed 4-5 family members then surrounded and argued with her. An elderly man allegedly blocked her, verbally abused her, and pushed her hard. She called police, who registered a case for voluntarily causing hurt, criminal intimidation, and wrongful restraint. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Bengaluru, Domlur, Sanjana (name changed) Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/stray-dog-dispute-leads-to-assault-on-woman-in-bengaluru/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
