In the video shared by Kaveri, two people can be seen beating up a dog that is trapped inside a net.

Abhishek allegedly told Kaveri that the dog was beaten up as they wanted to evict it because of the rising number of dog bites in the society.?

She, however, claimed that, so far there has not been a single case of dog bite confirmed from the society.

"These three dogs live in the basement as they are not allowed to be up in the society. Not allowing them to roam freely in the society is also against the law. But capturing beating and throwing or killing is the worst one can do as a human being," she said.?

Kaveri alleged that after she fields the FIR, she has been receiving threatening calls from Abhishek.

She also claimed that ever since the FIR was filed the AOA is pressuring and threatening the dog feeders of the society.?
