The residents issued death threats against the couple and also threatened to beat the dogs.

Reportedly, a complaint was registered in the matter, however, no FIR has yet been filed against the residents of the society.

Shubham, as per the Hindustan Times report, said that the mob snatched his wife Sankalita's phone while she was recording the incident and injured her.

He said that his friends, who came to support the two, were also brutally assaulted with the crowd pulling their t-shirts.
