New Delhi/ Noida: Yet another pet-related dispute has come to light in Noida wherein a fight broke out between a retired IAS officer and a woman carrying her pet into a lift.

Both take out their mobile phones to record the scene when the woman comes forward and snatches the man's mobile. The man approaches her and slaps her following which, both get into a scuffle. The woman asks the girl, who was standing inside the lift with the dog, to call her father. The girl is seen dialing a number on her mobile while the woman scuffles with the man.

The two stand at the lift's entrance quarreling when two more women arrive there seemingly inquiring into the matter. Suddenly a man, who is the woman's husband approaches the two and starts beating up the retired official while the woman apparently instigates him from behind. A few seconds later, a few security officials rush into the lift and separates the two men.
