A power department meter reader suffered multiple dog bites in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, after a homeowner allegedly unleashed three dogs on him. The incident occurred on Thursday in Indira Nagar when contractual staffers Ravindra Rajawat and Aditya Bhadoriya (Aditya Singh as per another account) went to record consumption. Police said the accused, Beeru Tomar, argued over the bill, then set his Pitbull, Rottweiler, and German Shepherd on them. He also allegedly broke their meter-reading device and brandished a gun. The Hindu says Tomar has been arrested and has a criminal record; Hindustan Times reports police are still tracing him. Rajawat suffered about five to 17 bite wounds, depending on the source.
