The Story in Brief
A couple was seriously injured after a Pitbull attacked them while viewing a house in Patiala's Ghuman Nagar on Tuesday evening, according to police and the victims. The CCTV footage of the attack has gone viral on social media.
Ankit Sabharwal, a bank manager, and his wife Shifali, a professor, had gone with a property dealer to inspect a house for rent. As they opened the gate latch, the dog lunged at Shifali, biting her arms and legs. Ankit sustained bite injuries on his legs and back while trying to protect her. Shifali underwent surgery and remains under observation. Police said an FIR under Section 291 of the BNS will be filed after receiving her medical report.
The Indian Opinion
The Patiala Pitbull attack was horrific, but social media is already framing this as a simple case of aggressive breeds versus safety. The CCTV footage shows the dog attacking even as its owner tried to stop it, raising uncomfortable questions about owner responsibility and training. Many Indian cities still lack clear enforcement of breed-specific regulations or penalties for negligent owners. The concrete test will be how fast the police file the FIR and whether the owners face a fine or a ban from keeping dogs. Can Indian courts deliver real deterrence, or will this be another forgotten case?
