Bengaluru man beaten to death over dog poop; neighbours arrested

A 68-year-old man was allegedly beaten to death by his neighbour and his friend for objecting to their dogs pooping in front of his house in Bengaluru. The incident happened on April 8 in Ganapathinagar in Soladevanahalli.

The deceased has been identified as Muniraju, while his son Murali, 32, who came to his father's rescue, was also attacked and has been admitted to hospital and is said to be recovering.

According to reports, Muniraju, had repeatedly objected to his neighbour, Pramod, allowing his pet dog to poop in front of his house.

However, Pramod continued to provoke Muniraju by smoking in front of his house and deliberately allowing his dog to defecate in front of Muniraju's house.

On the day of the incident, the two got into a fight over dog poop. The fight escalated and Pramod allegedly thrashed Muniraju with a bat with the intention of killing him, resulting in his death.

Meanwhile, a case has been registered and three people were arrested and produced before the Hon'ble Court.
