A huge crowd protested against those who feed stray dogs and attacked the couple — Shubham and Sankalita. They also assaulted police officials.

While posting the video, PFA said, “A violent mob at Pan Oasis, Sector 70 Noida, defied the law as it attacked a young couple who feed & care for community dogs. Even Police were pushed around & assaulted. Immediate action is requested against the rioters.”

As per Economic Times, PFA added that the caregivers, who had sterilised and vaccinated the dogs were physically assaulted, verbally abused and received death threats.

In another video viral on X, the administrative staff is seen instructing the security guards — including tower guards, gate guards and basement and ground floor guards — not to let any stray dogs enter the society and to remove all dogs from the society's premises.
