After the images emerged on social media, users expressed their disgust over the deteriorating law and order situation in the national capital.
“Miscreants have no fear of law in Delhi,” one user wrote while sharing the video of the attack.
“This has become a daily routine in Delhi, criminals simply do not fear the police,” another noted, pointing the finger at the effectiveness of the Delhi Police in curbing hooliganism in the capital.
According to officials, the owner of the home told police he had a dispute with a group of people who carried out the attack. None of his family members were injured, police said.
A police officer said the Kishan – the homeowner – had a dispute with a group that already has a criminal record.
