India, May 16 -- A police complaint has been lodged against actor-director Tinnu Anand after a message he posted in his residential society's WhatsApp group went viral. The message, which recently surfaced on social media and has attracted considerable attention, allegedly states: "Have come back after a horrifying shoot to be greeted by terrifying dogs barking and not knowing who to bite next. Challenge taken. Have a hockey stick to face them. am warning all dog lovers hereon. take them home OR then face my wrath. my society is given advance notice (sic)." Tinnu's message triggered widespread backlash from animal rights activists and local residents, including Aanchal Chaddha - a resident of the actor's society in Versova, Mumbai - who lodged the complaint. Responding the backlash, Tinnu clarified, "I'm 80 years old and if any dog attacks me, I have every right to defend myself. That is what I meant. That is what these people should have understood; my daughter's pet dog was attacked by three strays in our society last month. She fell and broke her wrist while trying to save the dog and has been operated on twice now." Speaking about the outrage the incident has ignited online, the actor told Free Press Journal, "Everyone's got diuretic fingers, you know, moving towards the mobiles, typing away messages. I'm ignoring [online backlash] completely because I know what I have written. This is not the first case where dogs have attacked someone. There are so many cases when these incidents have happened." "I want to talk to these dog lovers. If they doubt these dogs so much, they feed them, they look after them, then why not put a leash on them?" he went on to ask, adding, "Ask the convenience store near our society - his delivery man has been attacked twice and now they have stopped delivering because they don't want to be attacked by the dogs."htc...
