In the video, another woman, apparently the owner of the dog, can be seen saving the mother and her son. The police registered a case against the owner.

District Commissioner Surendra Chaudhary quoted the victim’s father and said his wife and son were returning from the temple when the neighbor opened the gate and her pet dogs ran out and attacked the child and his mother.

The police said that the condition of the child was out of danger. The case has been registered while further investigations are underway.
