A 12-year-old student studying in Class 7 sustained severe lacerations and sixteen deep bite wounds after being savagely attacked by an unleashed pitbull terrier in a residential enclave of Faridabad’s NIT-3 on Sunday. The young boy was returning home from a neighborhood tuition center when the aggressive canine leaped across an unlatched gate and attacked him on the street.
Alarmed neighbors rushed to the child’s rescue with wooden staves, struggling for several minutes to pry the ferocious animal away before transferring the heavily bleeding victim to the civil hospital. Due to multiple torn muscle tissues on his legs, chest, and arms, doctors transferred the boy to a specialized pediatric trauma ward for reconstructive wound suturing and rabies prophylaxis.
Faridabad police registered an FIR against the dog’s owner under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for negligent conduct regarding ferocious domestic animals. Municipal authorities seized the animal for rabies observation and announced intensified enforcement of citywide prohibitions against breeding dangerous canine breeds without certified training licenses.
