Noida: <\/b><\/p>\n
A domestic help working in a group housing society near Noida was bitten by a dog, prompting a police case against the pet-owner for negligence on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The incident took place around 5 pm at the Galaxy Royal Society in Gaur City 2 area under the Bisrakh police station limits, they said.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old domestic help was bitten by a German Shepherd breed dog while she was waiting in the gallery of the 18th floor of Tower B of the society where she worked, according to the complaint lodged by her husband.<\/p>\n
The main door of the neighbouring apartment was ajar and the dog came out of the house, pouncing on the domestic help and leaving her severely injured before the pet-owner gained control on the canine.<\/p>\n
“A similar incident had happened two months ago with a maintenance staffer of the society by the same dog,” the complainant claimed, urging the police for “strict action” under a “criminal case” against the owner of the German Shepherd.<\/p>\n
He also alleged that the pet owner “intimidated” the domestic help against filing a police complaint.<\/p>\n
Bisrakh police station in-charge Inspector Arvind Kumar said an FIR has been lodged against the owner of the dog.<\/p>\n
“The FIR has been registered under Indian Penal Code sections 289 (negligent conduct with respect to animals), 504 (intentional provocation to breach peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation),” Kumar told PTI.<\/p>\n
The official said an investigation into the case is underway and while the offence is bailable it could attract a prison term or fine, or both.<\/p>\n
