Rishika's uncle,
Raju Dabhi
, told police that this was the third or fourth time the dog acted aggressively. He demanded strict punishment for the dog owner, citing gross negligence that led to the infant's death.
Inspector HN Baria of Vivekanandnagar police said that the girl's parents, though they demanded strict action, initially withdrew from conducting the post-mortem of the girl and said that they would not file any police complaint.
'We have been trying to convince them to lodge a complaint in the case, and if it is needed, we would exhume the body in the presence of the mamlatdar for post-mortem and to initiate further legal proceedings,' said Baria.
Baria said that he was in contact with the deceased's father, who works with a private company, for further action. Cops also knew that the owner had the dog for some time, but they did not reveal the dog owner's name.

Elon Musk baby mama Ashley St Clair back after self-described ‘career suicide'; here's what she said in 'Bad Advice' podcast
Representative Image Mother to one of Elon Musk 's 14 children, Ashley St. Clair, has launched a new podcast titled "Bad Advice" on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The podcast is her first venture since what she described as " career suicide " following the announcement of her pregnancy with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO. In the first episode, St. Clair claimed she was getting "evicted" but had secured a $10,000 sponsorship from Polymarket. In the podcast, she also criticised ex-DOGE staffer Big Ba**s and commented on how California Governor Gavin Newsom has allowed the homeless crisis to deepen in the state. Meanwhile, in a previous interview with The New York Post, she said that the world's richest man provided her with an apartment in New York's Financial District. As per StreetEasy (seen by The NY Post), in this area a two-bedroom lease can reach almost $40,000. What Elon Musk baby mama Ashley St Clair said in Bad Advice podcast 'Well, after a year of unplanned career suicide, many questionable life choices and a gap in my LinkedIn profile that cannot legally be explained, I've decided to start a podcast. Unlike your Ben Shapiros or your Megyn Kellys, I'm not starting this because I think my big brain thoughts and my podcast mic are the greatest gift to humanity. I actually think I have the worst ideas, so consider everything out of my mouth a cautionary tale,' St. Clair said in the 30-minute podcast. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo During the podcast, she also went on to criticise Edward Coristine, the former Department of Government Efficiency member known as Big Ba**s, who, according to DC police, was injured by a group of 10 minors while stopping a carjacking attempt in the nation's capital. St. Clair noted, 'The damage was on par with what I sustained after I told my toddler he couldn't watch 'Paw Patrol,'' while referring to Coristine as 'Elon Musk's DOGE crony' during Musk's leadership of the Trump administration's cost-cutting agency. 'Two teenagers tried to steal a car, and instead of just letting them take it, Big Ba**s decided to intervene. He was with his girlfriend or lady partner, whatever the Musk orbit calls their non-committal fluid breeding vessel contenders these days,' she added. Talking about California Governor Gavin Newsom and the state's cost of living as well as the homeless crisis, St. Clair said: 'He's hot. He's tall. He's got the hair, the teeth, the smug … He's got the hot supervillain vibes, very Patrick Bateman to me. He's like, if Patrick Bateman pretended to care about climate change, you could drop him into an Axe body spray commercial or a Senate hearing, same expression. Crime is also through the roof in California: same racket, endless task forces, community dialogues, pilot programs. Nothing changes except the balance sheets of every consultant in Sacramento,' she said. Who needs Medicare when a TikTok duet hits better than the meds ever will? If you want to win, don't make life better, make the show better. Gavin gets that … this is also why they lose their mind over someone like Zohran Mamdani.'
