Both the retired officer and the dog owner started recording the confrontation on their phones. Tensions escalated when the woman took the man's phone, sparking a physical confrontation that was captured by CCTV cameras.

During the clash, it appears the man slapped the woman, leading her to involve her husband in the situation. This, in turn, triggered another round of physical altercations, with the woman preventing other residents from entering the elevator to protect her husband. The apartment's security personnel had to step in to separate the two men.

After a video of the altercation went viral on social media, the police were alerted and examined the CCTV footage. Both parties involved have submitted written statements to the police, requesting no further action be taken against them. However, the police have stated that their investigation into the matter will continue.

The issue of whether dogs can be taken into elevators has been a source of contention between pet owners and apartment residents throughout the country. Numerous conflicts over such matters have been reported in recent times.

Many apartments in Noida have implemented restrictions on bringing dogs into elevators, but pet owners argue that these directives lack legal enforceability. The apartment associations cite multiple incidents of dog-related incidents in elevators as the basis for these rules.

In a previous case, the Greater Noida administration imposed a fine of ₹10,000 on a pet owner after their dog bit a six-year-old child in an apartment elevator.
