A school child was bitten by a dog inside a housing society elevator in Uttar Pradesh’s Greater Noida.
This is the second incident in about two months of a dog biting a child in the lift in Uttar Pradesh’s national capital region. A schoolboy was bitten by a dog inside a housing society elevator in Ghaziabad in September. The latest incident was captured by closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera installed inside the elevator. It happened in the lift of La Residentia Society’s tower seven which falls under the jurisdiction of Bisrakh police station.
The incident occurred when the child was in the lift for going to this school. The dog bit on his hand. As a result, he sustained injuries and was administered four injections.
The residents of the society are scared a lot after the dog bite incident.
Talking to the news agency, the child’s mother said that pet dogs should not be brought near small children to avoid recurrence of such incidents in future.
Stray dogs should not be allowed to enter into societies, she added.
Earlier in Ghaziabad on September, a school boy was bitten by a dog inside a housing society elevator even as the animal’s owner appeared to be a mute spectator, following which the Ghaziabad police registered a case.
The incident had happened in Rajnagar Extension’s Charms Castle when the boy, with a schoolbag on his shoulder, was bitten by the dog inside the lift of the high-rise residential building. The video of the incident went viral on social media.
The boy’s parents had approached Nandigram Police Station where a complaint under IPC section 289 (negligent conduct with respect to animals) of IPC was registered.
The incident was caught on a CCTV camera installed inside the elevator of the residential complex. The video shows the boy being attacked by the dog with its leash in the woman’s hand.
When she walked out of the lift, the dog again leaped upon the child but was pulled away by the woman.
“In the viral video from Charms Castle in Rajnagar Extension, a boy was attacked by a dog and the woman stood in her place holding the leash. A complaint has been lodged by the boy’s father and the investigation is still underway,” Circle Officer Alok Dubey had said.
