CCTV footage from inside the lift reportedly shows that the minor was frightened and pleaded with the woman, asking her with folded hands not to bring her pet dog inside. Instead of complying, the woman allegedly told the boy to exit the lift and pressed the button for her desired floor.

The footage also captured the woman shoving the young boy and pulling him out of the lift. She then positioned herself behind him, allegedly intending to physically harm him without being visible on camera, according to the report.

The incident has sparked outrage among netizens, raising concerns about why the woman was permitted to allow her dog to roam freely in the residential society without a leash or muzzle.
