Boy pushed, manhandled by woman with unleashed dog in Greater Noida society   

A woman in a Greater Noida society pushed and manhandled a young boy who pleaded with her not to bring her unleashed dog inside the lift. The pet owner was detained after a video of the terrified child in tears went viral, police said on Thursday.

The incident happened on Wednesday in 12th Avenue Society in Gautam Buddha Nagar's Gaur City 2, Deputy Commissioner of Police Shakti Mohan Awasthi said. A video of the episode is making rounds on social media.

In the 49-second video, the boy, terrified by the sight of an unleashed dog, can be seen pleading with the woman not to bring her pet inside the lift.

The boy folds his hands, requesting the woman. However, when the dog enters the lift, the pet owner pulls the minor and drags him out of the lift.

PTI could not independently verify the veracity of the video.

DCP Awasthi said the video of the incident went viral on Thursday. The video shows that when a minor boy present in the lift protested against bringing the dog inside, the woman pulled him and misbehaved with him.

A case has been registered against the woman and she has been taken into custody.

The residents of the society are angry over the incident and demanded action against the woman.
