In the viral video, the woman can be observed verbally abusing the man, forcibly pulling his hair, and slapping him. This altercation reportedly occurred in AIMS Golf Avenue Society in Noida’s sector-75 area. It is claimed that the woman was angry as the man had removed a missing poster related to her dog.
In the one-minute viral video, the woman is initially seen grabbing a man’s t-shirt collar. In the viral video, she can be heard saying, “Is AOA (Apartment Owners Association) bigger than the Supreme Court.”
Later in the viral video, she is seen pushing the man and screaming while the man is seen asking the woman to calm down and maintain decorum during the conversation. However, during their altercation, the woman resorts to physical aggression, and even goes on to slap him.
Meanwhile, people present at the scene tried to intervene and mediate the situation.

Following the incident, two different videos regarding the scuffle started doing rounds on the internet. On the basis of the viral video, clearly capturing the scuffle and remarks of those present there, several users shared it as a scuffle between a dog lover and an official of the society amid a surge in reports of dog menace in Delhi-NCR region particularly in housing societies. They also demanded that action should be taken against these so-called dog activists who have been endangering the lives of other residents, especially children.

Local media reports also conveyed the same that the society official alleged a dog activist physically beaten him for the removal of a missing dog’s poster.
कुत्ते का फोटो हटाने से पहले **** से बात कर, शायद ऐसा ही संदेश देना चाहते है कुत्ता प्रेमी आम लोगो को।

Many users also pointed out a potential gender bias in the situation and called for action against the woman who assaulted a man. They argued that if the roles were reversed, there would likely be more emphasis on the genders of those involved in the altercation.

Where is gender equality? What if the man is treated the same as the man dragged by the collar?pic.twitter.com/5Xr4A0yIqm
Another user added that the attack on an AOA official by the woman is highly condemnable and demanded action against the woman and her associates.

Highlighting the viral incident where a man was seen beaten up by a woman, a men’s rights activist group, voicing for the National Commission for Men’s Rights, asserted that men too have the right to live with Dignity.

However, the incident also became a tool for political mudslinging as several users shared another video of the incident shot from a very distant place from where the incident unfolded to give it a political spin.
Taking to X, UP Congress alleged that the woman was wrongfully shown in a bad light and claimed that BJP leaders are engaged in hooliganism.
It stated, “Videos of hooliganism of BJP leaders surface every day from Noida societies. It is being told that in AIMS Golf Avenue 1 Society, BJP leader Naveen Mishra misbehaved with the woman and held her hand, but on the contrary, Noida Police registered an FIR against the woman.”

बताया जा रहा है कि AIMS Golf Avenue 1 सोसायटी में भाजपा नेता नवीन मिश्रा ने महिला के साथ अभद्रता की, उसका हाथ पकड़ा लेकिन नोएडा पुलिस ने उल्टा महिला पर ही FIR दर्ज कर दिया।

However, a few users noted that the video was filmed from a distance and did not capture the full conversation that transpired during the altercation.

The user asserted, “Only lies were expected from Rahul Gandhi’s party. Well, if you post a video shot from a distance and put the caption of your choice, will no one expose your lies?? The woman was dirtying the walls of the society by forcibly putting up posters when Navin Mishra stopped her, the woman raised her hand at him and abused him, watch the video.”
