A pet-related altercation recently unfolded in a high-rise building in Noida, where a retired IAS Officer named RP Gupta became embroiled in a heated dispute with a woman at Sector 108’s Park Laureate Society. The incident occurred when the woman declined to exit an elevator with her pet. This dispute led to a formal complaint being filed with the Noida police, who are currently conducting an investigation.
The incident, which has since gone viral on social media, captured Gupta attempting to record the confrontation. In response, the woman tried to prevent him from recording and a scuffle ensued. Consequently, the IAS offer slapped the woman and in a bid to defend herself, the woman used her hands too. The woman’s husband later arrived at the scene and confronted the former IAS officer.
