Last year, a man in Gurugram beat six members of his neighbour's family after he got angry when one of them called his dog 'kutta' instead of its name 'Tommy'.

The incident took place in Jyoti Park in the Cybercity area of Gurugram. Infuriated by the dog's violent nature, Sudhir, a resident of the area, had asked his neighbour to keep the dog chained. This did not sit well with the dog's owner who got furious with the suggestion and the fact he did not use the dog's name and called him kutta.

An argument followed and resulted in a violent brawl between two families.
