A pitbull attacks a couple in Patiala, Punjab, as they visit a property with a dealer to look for rented accommodation. Reports and a widely shared video show the dog rushes out from inside the premises and bites both the husband and wife shortly after they arrive and ring the doorbell. Nearby people intervene to drive the animal away, but the couple still suffer multiple bite injuries.
The couple is taken to a private hospital in Patiala for treatment. Times of India reports the woman’s wounds are severe enough to require surgery, while her husband also receives deep bite injuries while trying to help her. The footage shows residents using sticks to fend off the dog. The Free Press Journal similarly describes the incident in Ghuman Nagar and says the husband and wife have injuries on multiple parts of their bodies.
Across outlets, the core account is consistent: the attack occurs during a viewing of a rental property and is captured in video that spreads online. Times of India additionally notes that the incident sparks renewed debate about banning aggressive dog breeds in the city, while Free Press Journal places the event within a broader context of pitbull-related attacks reported in other parts of India, including Delhi.
