KOLKATA -- Irritated by the constant barking of his neighbhour's pet dog, a man barged into the latter's house and attacked him with a rod after trying to strangulate him in the city's posh Ballygunge Place area, police said today.
Abhijit Sen was arrested and booked under IPC Section 307 (attempt to murder) on the charge of attacking Mukund Khaitan.
