This incident appears to be connected to the allegation by pet lovers of HSR that 60 strays have been picked up from HSR and relocated elsewhere. According to this FIR (First Information Report), the incident occurred behind the Government Hostel when Abhilash was feeding the dogs.

The four persons allegedly came in a Tata Ace mini truck to catch the dogs. When Abhilash protested that it’s illegal to catch dogs by unlicensed contractors, the four persons beat him up and mouthed expletives. They also threatened him with his life and drove away.
The HSR cops have lodged the case under five sections of the Indian Penal Code – 506 (criminal intimidation), 341 (wrongful restraint), 323 (causing hurt), 504 (insult) and 34 (criminal act by a group).
