Sonipat Pit Bull Attack: 6-Month-Old Baby Mauled by Dog, Shocking Video Shows Infant Dragged On Road

A six-month-old baby was left critically injured after a pit bull attacked her in Haryana's Sonipat, with the disturbing incident captured on CCTV. The attack took place in Sikka Colony when the baby's aunt had taken her out for a walk. The footage showed the dog suddenly lunging at the woman as she carried the infant in her arms.

The impact caused the woman and baby to fall to the ground. The pit bull then grabbed the baby and dragged her along the road, refusing to release her even as people nearby tried to intervene. The infant suffered serious injuries and was referred to a hospital in Rohtak, where her condition is reportedly critical.

Earlier Pit Bull Attack in Delhi

The Sonipat incident has also brought back attention to similar attacks involving pit bulls. In a separate incident in Delhi's Vinay Enclave last year, a six-year-old boy suffered severe injuries after being mauled by a pit bull and lost part of his right ear. The dog's owner was subsequently arrested in connection with an attempted murder case. Dog Attack Beed: 3-Year-Old Girl Mauled by Stray Dog, Suffers Severe Facial Injuries, Gets 12 Stitches.

Are Pit Bulls Banned in India?

There is no uniform nationwide ban on keeping pit bulls as pets across India. However, restrictions can vary between states, municipal bodies and local authorities.

Some cities have imposed restrictions on keeping breeds considered aggressive or dangerous. Ghaziabad and Chandigarh, for instance, have restrictions covering pit bulls, Rottweilers and certain other breeds.

The Sonipat attack is likely to intensify the debate over pet ownership rules, enforcement and precautions required to prevent dog attacks in residential areas.
