Man dies after being beaten up for complaining about pet dogs’ barking; three held

Jabalpur (MP): Objecting to the barking of pet dogs cost a 45-year-old man his life as he was allegedly beaten with sticks by the owner of the loud canines and her three sons in Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh, police said on Saturday.

Police have arrested Sudha Yadav and her two sons under the charge of murder while her another son is on the run.
