Stray Dog Attack Sparks Supreme Court Action on Stray Dog Regulations

A five-year-old boy was viciously attacked by a stray dog, sustaining multiple deep bites in a police colony in east Delhi's Shakarpur, officials confirmed on Monday.

The attack unfolded on Sunday as the child and his father were visiting relatives. The dog, without warning, lunged at the boy, biting him repeatedly.

Prompt action by a police inspector living in the colony helped rescue the child from further harm. The boy, who suffered severe wounds in the attack, was promptly hospitalized and is now in a stable condition. This incident has emerged in the wake of the Supreme Court's efforts to re-evaluate the management of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR.
