Following the registration of a case at Mumbra police station against the owners of a Labrador that fell on a five-year-old girl, the girl`s family has requested police protection from the dog owner’s family. Four individuals related to the dog owner have been booked, and the girl’s family feels threatened due to their influence and their shared residence in the same building. In addition, animal activists have stepped in to ask why the accused was not charged with animal cruelty and request the police to investigate the presence of other dogs kept on the building`s terrace.
On Tuesday, the girl was reported dead after the dog fell on her from the terrace. After 48 hours, the Mumbra police registered a case under Sections 105 and 291 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Based on a complaint from the girl`s father, the Mumbra police registered a case against four individuals, including Zaher Sayed, 24; his father Ismail; and two brothers. “We have arrested Zaher, who was produced in court and remanded in police custody for one day. We are searching for the other accused, and further investigation is ongoing,” said Anil Shinde, senior police inspector at Mumbra police station.
