An elderly woman in Uttar Pradesh’s Alwar was dragged to the ground and assaulted by her neighbours, who allegedly barged into her home following a dispute over fencing at the front of her plot.

During the attack, the neighbours kicked and slapped her in the face, twisted her arm, and threw her onto the street. The woman, identified as Narmada, fell unconscious during the assault. The accused fled the scene, leaving her lying unconscious on the road.

The entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras installed near the spot, and the footage is now rapidly going viral on social media.

According to police, the woman had been involved in a year-long dispute with her neighbours over fencing in front of the plot. On Wednesday, three to four men allegedly entered the house. They had brought their pet dog with them and immediately began hurling abuses.

During the assault, Narmada sustained serious injuries and fell unconscious. Hearing the commotion, neighbours gathered at the scene and protested, following which the accused fled.

Narmada’s family was informed about the incident and later alerted the police. Police arrived at the spot and began an investigation. Efforts are underway to identify the attackers using CCTV footage.
