X-Handle Telugu Scribe shared a video of the incident. “Horrible. The dog, the owner and his wife were attacked for coming into the house. Maduranagar – Srinath's dog in Rahmat Nagar went into Dhanunjay's house opposite. A fight broke out between the two and seeing this, Dhanunjay took action with his two friends Srinath, Srinath's wife and his dog, and beat them with sticks,” the site added.

In the video you can see a man standing on the side of the road with his husky. Within a few moments, a few men come from the opposite direction. While one grabs the dog's leash, others push the dog owner to the ground. Immidiety, they start beating him and the dog with sticks. At one point a woman rushes in to save the man, but she also gets beaten up. Two more women come in and stop the attackers.
