Dallas/IBNS: It was a fight over a washing machine with his employee that led to the beheading of the 50-year-old Indian man in Dallas. He was attacked with a machete by the assailant and his head was severed, reports said. 

In the CCTV footage now available on social media, a man is seen chasing the victim, who is from the Indian state of Karnataka, with a machete.

The incident occurred on Wednesday.

Chandra Nagamallaiah, the victim, had reportedly asked 37-year-old Yordanis Cobos-Martinez not to use the broken washing machine.

Instead of addressing Martinez directly, Nagamallaiah, 50, asked a female employee to translate his words.

The accused got infuriated, took a machete and stabbed him multiple times.

Though Nagamallaiah tried to flee the scene and run down the parking lot, he was chased down by Martinez who decapitated the victim and kicked his head.

Though Nagamallaiah's wife and teen son had tried to stop Martinez, the accused pushed them away and committed the act.

A separate video shows the accused picking up the severed head and heading towards the dumpster.

The accused, who reportedly has a history of criminal activities, has been arrested.

The incident has sparked widespread outrage with Indian social media walls demanding the India government to take up the matter with the US counterpart.

The Indian Consulate in Houston posted on X, "Consulate General of India, Houston, condoles the tragic death of Mr. Chandra Nagamallaiah, an Indian National, killed brutally at his workplace in Dallas, Tx.

"We are in touch with the family and offering all possible assistance. The accused is in the custody of Dallas Police. We are following up on the matter closely."
