Noida, Jul 18: In a shocking act of violence, a man was brutally assaulted and had his nose cut off after he scolded his neighbour’s pet dog for barking in Noida's Nat Ki Madaiya village.

The incident, which took place on July 8, came to light after an FIR was registered on Tuesday. The victim, identified as Devendra, was allegedly attacked by his neighbour Satish, along with Satish’s brother Amit and son Tushar, after he shouted at the dog.
