Mumbai, Dec 17 (NationPress) Television actor Anuj Sachdeva recently turned to social media to discuss a harrowing incident where he was violently attacked by an unidentified individual in his housing society over a parking disagreement.
In his social media post, Anuj recounted the details of the assault and described the terrifying circumstances surrounding it.
He mentioned, "Mujhe sir mein chot lagi hai aur taang mein bhi injury hui hai. Lekin main yeh share karna chahta hoon ki jo actual reason hai, main apne dog ko walk par le jaane ke liye bahar nikla tha."
He explained, "Society mein ek gaadi galat tarike se park ki gayi thi, jiske baare mein maine owners' group mein inform kiya aur ek photograph bhi kheench li, yeh kehne ke liye ki 'Yeh gaadi ko sahi jagah park karein.'"
Anuj further revealed that a man named Pradeep Singh began threatening him and verbally abusing him, which caused his dog, Simba, to bark in alarm.
He stated, "Mera dog ne us par bhonka, kyunki main usse ghumane nikla tha aur woh ek owner ki protection ke liye hamesha saamne rehta hai. Then he wanted to vent it out on my dog and ran to pick up a stick."
During the altercation, Anuj urged his female friend and dog to step aside for their safety, but by that time, Pradeep had already picked up a stick and struck Anuj multiple times on the head.
Having filed a First Information Report (FIR) against Pradeep Singh, Anuj stated, "Aap jab akele hote hai, tab retaliate kar sakte hai. Maine FIR likhwayi hai, aur mujhe Mumbai Police pe poora barosa hai aur judicial pe barosa hai ki woh humara saath degi. Abhi tak arrest nahi hua hai, jo ki hona chaiye. Lekin, I am still hoping that eventually the culprit will get punished. I still feel very unsafe because of him being around in the society."
He also pointed out that dog owners and feeders frequently face physical and verbal abuse but often choose not to retaliate, fearing repercussions for their pets.
Anuj expressed gratitude to his supporters and emphasized that if a high-profile individual like him can endure such brutal experiences, he can only imagine the plight of ordinary citizens during similar circumstances.
In his video post, Anuj remarked, "Thank you to my people, my well-wishers, the media, and everyone who shared my video and stood by me in this difficult time. Your support, kindness, and strength mean more to me than I can put into words."
He added, "The most exhausting part is knowing that the culprit is still not arrested, but I have complete faith in the Mumbai Police and in our judiciary. I truly believe that the truth will prevail and that justice will triumph over evil."
To recap, on December 15, Anuj Sachdeva was violently assaulted due to a parking dispute. He had documented the entire incident on video.
In the footage, the assailant can be heard cursing at Anuj and attacking him with a stick.
Sharing his ordeal online, Anuj stated, "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 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 people who can take action. I am bleeding from my head. (sic)"
