‘Saath Nibhaana Saathiya’ Actor Anuj Sachdeva Attacked Over Car Parking
MUMBAI- Television actor Anuj Sachdeva has registered a complaint after being brutally attacked over a parking row.
In the complaint registered with the police, Anuj has alleged that he was assaulted by a neighbor over a parking dispute.
As per the FIR, he took his dog out for a walk after dinner in the parking area of his society. He noticed a car parked in the space reserved for vehicle parking and took a photo of the car. Anuj shared the picture in the society’s WhatsApp group, asking about the owner of the car.
After some time, a man approached him, claiming to be the owner of the car, and refused to move it. During the confrontation, Anuj’s dog started to bark at the man, making him angry.
The agitated man grabbed the watchman’s stick and attacked Anuj on his head, back, and right leg. In his complaint, Anuj stated that he feared his dog getting hit.
Anuj’s female friend, who was with him at the time, raised an alarm, grabbing the attention of the society watchman, who took back his stick. Anuj later lodged a complaint with the police. An investigation into the matter is presently underway.
On December 15, Anuj posted a video of the attack on social media as evidence, in which the accused was heard abusing him even while being taken away by the watchman.
Sharing the ordeal on social media, the ‘Saath Nibhaana Saathiya’ actor wrote, “I am posting this evidence before this person tries to do any damage to me or my property. He tried hitting my dog and me with a rod for notifying in the society group regarding his car which was parked at the wrong place in the society parking. Harmony mall residency. Goregaon w This person is from A wing flat 602. kindly share with ppl who can take action. I am bleeding from my head.” (IANS)

Notice how the article only quotes and publishes Anuj’s version of events? This is because journalists insulate themselves from the need for ethical and full investigation by simply taking the quotes of anyone they interview out of context and not publishing the word of innocent people who are assaulted by or discriminated against by dog owners and dogs every day. A recent article in the magazine ‘The New Yorker’ by an amazing renowned author David Sedaris details how much victim-blaming and hate there is for someone who doesn’t do what a dog owner wants them to do. The article merely states that the spot in question was reserved for vehicle parking, which means the individual who Anuj S.’s dog repeatedly threatened with a mauling was probably in the right to park there. It was merely Anuj who decided that the vehicle cannot park in that particular spot. How come Anuj gets to make ridiculous declarations about people who defend themselves from angry dog owners and dogs, but we rarely have media articles covering how dog owners set their dogs loose on grounds meant for exercise for for children who keep getting harassed, tackled, bitten, and even molested in the mouths by dogs!?
