Ghaziabad: In another case of dog menace, a German Shepherd was seen attacking a girl riding her bicycle in an apartment complex in Ghaziabad. CCTV footage of the incident shows the dog bit the 6-year-old girl’s arm, despite being restrained by a leash, as its owner struggled to control it. This incident unfolded at Ajnara Integrity Society in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. Where a girl riding a bicycle in the park was attacked by a German Shepherd dog. This incident was captured in the CCTV camera installed nearby.
The immediate reaction of the girl’s mother, who immediately came to her child’s aid and sought assistance from a security guard, saved him from further harm. Several children were seen roaming inside the Ajnara Integrity Housing Society, where the scene unfolded on Wednesday.
The police have now filed a case on the complaint of the victim’s mother, Namita Chauhan. In her complaint, she said the dog was not wearing a muzzle at the time of the attack. The woman claimed the dog also attacked her one-year-old son, although this was not captured in the video footage.
Seeking legal recourse, Ms Chauhan has demanded that appropriate measures be taken, including the removal of the dog from the society premises, to ensure the safety of residents..
This comes under the heels of the incident of a dog attack when a 15-year-old boy was critically injured after being mauled by a neighbour’s Pit Bull. Last month, the central government directed states to ban the sale and breeding of 23 breeds of ferocious dogs, including Pit bull Terrier, American Bulldog, Rottweiler and Mastiffs, amid rising instances of pet dog attacks.
