TV actor Anuj Sachdeva, known for his role as Amrit Malhotra on Sabki Laadli Bebo, recently faced a harrowing incident where he was attacked by a resident belonging to the same housing complex as him.
The actor took to social media to share about the incident and posted a shocking video where the assaulter can be heard hurling abuses at the actor and seen attacking him violently with a rod while guards attempt to restrict him.
“He tried hitting my dog and me”
On Instagram, Sachdeva posted the video stating that it was evidence with the caption:
“I am posting this evidence before this person tries to do any damage to me or my property. He tried hitting my dog and me with a rod for notifying in the society group regarding his car which was parked at the wrong place in the society parking. Harmony mall residency.

The actor not only sustained injuries which resulted in him bleeding from the head but his dog was attacked as well with the assailant claiming that the dog had bitten him. The confrontation occurred as he had notified the society group that the man had parked his car in the wrong space.
The man could then be seen running after Sachdeva and attempting to hit him – first with his bare hands and then with a stray rod that he picked up on the premises.
