The complainant Raman Kapoor, who is into the pharmaceutical business, said that on Thursday night at 10 pm his father went for a walk after dinner. The accused and his wife had taken the dog out for a walk.
He added that the dog used to defecate in front of their house.
“My father objected to it, following which the accused started abusing him. I rushed out hearing the babble and intervened. The accused threatened us with dire consequences,” said Raman Kapoor.
“We took the matter lightly and did not report it to the police, but on Friday morning at around 8.30 am, four men, including Sidharth, turned up there and started vandalising the window panes of our house. When we resisted, the accused opened fire at me. However, I escaped unhurt. When I raised the alarm, the accused escaped from the spot,” he added.
