In a similar but unrelated incident, a 17-year-old boy reportedly killed an 85-year-old man after the victim's dog barked at him in Dwarka, Gujarat, India on Friday, March. 18, as previously reported.

Law enforcement received a call alerting them about a disturbance at a residential area in Dwarka, Gujarat, and responded to the scene on March. 18. The wife of the 85-year-old victim, Ashok, claimed that their 17-year-old neighbor had forcibly entered their house and attacked her husband, mercilessly thrashing him with a rod.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the brutal attack was spurred by the teen's anger towards the elderly victim’s dog who had allegedly barked at the boy. Infuriated by the dog's barking, the 17-year-old suspect reportedly began beating the animal with a metal rod. When Ashok confronted the teen and tried to intervene in the attack, the juvenile also began thrashing the elderly man, leaving him severely injured.

Following this, the officers arrested the boy. However, he was later released by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB). On March. 20, Ashok, who suffered grievous injuries in the attack, succumbed to his injuries and died.
