9-year-old girl injured in pit bull attack at Chimbel
A 9-year-old girl was injured after she was attacked by a pit bull at Chimbel. SP (North) Rahul Gupta said that Old Goa police had arrested the owner of the pit bull for allegedly attacking the minor girl.
'He is in police custody. We have applied the children's act to make it a non-bailable offence,' Gupta said.
Shamshir Davangiri, a resident of Indiranagar, Chimbel, in his complaint, said that Riyaz Mallur, the pit bull owner, negligently left his dog freely without taking any precautions, due to which it attacked and bit his minor daughter and caused her bodily injuries.
Police said Mallur told them that the dog was always chained at home, but when he wasn't at home, the chain accidentally opened, and the dog ran out of the house.
Police said that the minor girl, who lives in the neighbourhood, was playing in the open space, and when the pit bull saw the girl, it attacked her.
Police said that the girl was shifted to GMC for treatment.
With a rise in dog attacks on people, often resulting in serious injuries, state assembly passed the Goa Animal Breeding and Domestication (Regulation and Compensation) Bill, 2025, to prohibit the domestication and breeding of ferocious animals and ban the import of such breeds.
