A six-month-old girl is critically injured after being attacked and mauled by a pit bull in Sonipat, Haryana, during a walk. Reports say the incident occurs on September 14 in Sikka Colony, when the baby’s aunt takes her outside. CCTV footage shared online captures the dog suddenly lunging toward the aunt and the baby, after which the woman falls and the dog grabs and drags the infant before people nearby try to intervene.
The sources describe the baby’s injuries as serious, with treatment provided at a hospital in the region and a reported critical condition. Free Press Journal adds that the injured infant is referred to a hospital in Rohtak for care and that the family has not yet filed a police complaint, while Mint focuses on the CCTV depiction of the attack and the baby’s critical status. Both accounts frame the incident as raising concerns locally about dog-keeping and safety practices.
The coverage also places the Sonipat attack in a broader context of other pit bull incidents reported in India, including a separate attack in Punjab’s Patiala involving a couple earlier that year, though details of that case are not part of the Sonipat event itself.
