NEW DELHI: A 43-year-old man from Mumbai has been arrested after his pet pit bull attacked and injured an 11-year-old boy in Mankhurd.
According to the FIR filed by the boy’s father, the child was playing inside a stationary auto-rickshaw on Thursday night when Sohail Hasan Khan allegedly set the dog loose on the boy, laughing as the animal attacked, while the other too watched instead of intervening.
The child was bitten on the chin and left with injuries. The police registered a case against Khan and arrested him on Friday. However, he was later released with a notice.
Earlier this year, Goa’s state cabinet announced a ban on the import, sale, and breeding of Pit Bulls and Rottweilers, citing public safety concerns.
Recently, the Supreme Court told a Noida man—who said he was being harassed for feeding stray dogs—that he should feed them at home, pointing to the rising number of stray dog attacks.
