A woman from lajpat Nagar had another woman bitten by her dog leading to severe injuries in South-East Delhi’s lajpat Nagar area on Thursday. The woman identified as Seema Dutta resented the fact that her neighbour objected to her dog’s presence near the staircase.
Though the victim has now been discharged, a case has been filed under Section 289 for negligent conduct with respect to animal at lajpat Nagar PS. The incident took place on Sunday night around 10.30 pm in lajpat Nagar Part-II area. The victim, Kavita Menghaney, lives on the second floor whereas the accused Seema Dutta resided on the first floor in E Block area. The victim in her complaint claimed that the accused woman would leash her dog outside her house and force people to use the lift if they objected to it. On Sunday night when the victim was going down the staircase, the accused woman in an infuriated state opened the main door of the house and directed her dog to attack. Menghaney was bit on her leg. She was rushed to Safdarjung Hospital where she was discharged after treatment. The victim in her statement told the police that she had problems using the lift as she suffers from claustrophobia and had conveyed the same to Dutta who ignored it
