Taking cognizance of the incident, Ghaziabad police registered a case against the owner of the dog, police said.
The boy’s father, who has been a resident at the apartment complex for the past five years said, “My son was coming home from his tuition class in the neighbouring tower when a Beagle accompanied by an old woman bit him on his leg inside the lift. I was waiting on the ground floor when he came out crying and limping. After he told me what happened, I found the woman in the basement and confronted her. She refused to answer when I asked about her whereabouts. On being asked if the dog was vaccinated, she asked me to leave her alone. I later asked the guard for the CCTV footage and filed a complaint with police.”
According to the father, his son is presently undergoing treatment, adding that he has been appearing for his exams this whole time.
