The entire incident was captured on the CCTV camera installed nearby. After a complaint was filed, the police have registered a case against the owner of the dog.
Pitbull belonged to neighbour
The girl's grandfather, Nandalal, said that his granddaughter Sonam was playing outside their house on Saturday evening around 5 o'clock when the neighbor's daughter, Anju, who was taking her pit bull for a walk, came out. It was at that time the pit bull attacked Sonam. Although on hearing the screams, the owner of the pit bull also ran to the spot and helped to drive away the dog. According to the doctor, there are bite and scratch marks from the dog's teeth and paws on five places of the girl's body.
