According to reports, the victim, identified as Ramveer Baghel, left the gate of his rented house unlocked after dropping his child off for an exam. This angered another tenant couple, Sanjeev and Rakhi, who started abusing Ramveer for leaving the gate open. The verbal spat soon turned violent, as Sanjeev grabbed Ramveers hands, and Rakhi attacked his ear with her teeth. She managed to tear off a part of his ear and swallowed it before anyone could stop her. Ramveer was left bleeding and in pain while Rakhi fled the scene. The police were informed about the incident and the cops reached the spot. They registered a case against Sanjeev and Rakhi for causing grievous hurt and criminal intimidation. They also launched a search for Rakhi, who is absconding. Ramveer was taken to a hospital, where doctors said that his ear could not be repaired as the severed part was missing. Ramveer said that he was shocked and traumatised by the attack and demanded strict action against the accused.
