Caught on camera: Gurugram woman seriously injured in dog attack during morning walk in posh complex
The incident took place around 7 am, when the woman, who lives in a nearby society, was walking with two others on the footpath. As a woman with a Husky passed by, the dog suddenly lunged at the victim, biting her arm and knocking her to the ground.
Despite the dog owner's attempts to restrain the animal, the dog continued to attack until other morning walkers stepped in to help. After a struggle, the dog was finally pulled away and chained.
The victim sustained deep scratches on her hand and other injuries. She was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment and later discharged.
CCTV footage of the attack has surfaced on social media, prompting widespread concern. Based on the viral clip, Gurugram Police have launched an investigation.
The case has once again raised alarm among residents in the Delhi-NCR region, where dog attack incidents are reportedly on the rise.
Taking serious note of the growing threat, the Supreme Court on Monday initiated suo motu proceedings, calling the situation 'alarming and disturbing'.
A bench comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan acted upon a media report that highlighted the death of a six-year-old in Delhi due to rabies caused by a dog bite.
'This is a highly disturbing news report titled 'City hounded by strays and kids pay price',' the court observed. 'It contains extremely troubling details. There are reports of hundreds of dog bite incidents from both cities and peripheral areas, many of which have led to rabies infections. Ultimately, it is infants and senior citizens who are falling prey to this deadly disease.'
The court has now taken up the issue for further examination.

Colonel Bath assault: Top court upholds HC order on CBI probe
The Supreme Court on Monday told four Punjab Police cops accused of assaulting a serving army colonel to show some respect for the force which defends the borders in tough terrains and ensure citizens get to sleep peacefully as it dismissed their appeal and subjected them to a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation. The Supreme Court was initially inclined to impose a heavy cost of ₹ 10 lakh on the policemen while dismissing their petition. However, the court refrained from imposing the penalty as it dismissed their petitions. The alleged incident took place on the intervening night of March 13 and 14 this year when Colonel Pushpinder Singh Bath and his son were eating at a roadside dhaba (eatery) in Patiala. The cops who claimed to have a good service record had approached the top court against the order of the Punjab & Haryana high court of July 16 when the probe was entrusted to CBI. Earlier, on April 3, a single-judge bench had transferred the probe out of Punjab and tasked an SP-rank officer of Chandigarh police to conduct investigation. Taking serious exception to the manner in which the police handled the case by allowing the four cops to remain at large since March 14, the top court was at pains to note the irony that during war, the officers of the army are glorified but when it comes to giving them justice, the state allows such 'lawlessness' against the men in uniform to go unpunished. A bench of justices Sanjay Kumar and SC Sharma said, 'They go to defend you and they come back wrapped in a national flag…Have some respect for the army people. You sleep peacefully in your house because that man at the border is serving you at minus 40 degrees Celsius.' The bench made this emotional pitch as it noted the facts of the case that despite the incident, it took eight days for an FIR to be lodged by Punjab Police. Later, when the cops applied for anticipatory bail, the same was rejected and yet the senior officers of Chandigarh Police entrusted with the probe, failed to arrest the accused. 'This kind of lawlessness is not acceptable. Your bail was dismissed and yet you are roaming freely. They have not been arrested till date. Let the CBI look into this,' the bench observed. Earlier, the high court had set a timeline of four months for completion of the probe. However, even after the expiry of the timeline, the accused cops were not arrested by Chandigarh Police. The four cops claimed that the case was related to a minor scuffle as Colonel Bath (in plain clothes) along with his son refused to move their car while having food at a roadside dhaba (eatery) enroute to Patiala. The cops claimed that the injuries were on non-vital parts that were not life-threatening. The lawyer appearing for the cops told the top court that the HC has taken a strict view of the matter when the incident involved a minor scuffle. The arguments were opposed by advocate Sumeer Sodhi appearing for the Army Colonel pointing out how the facts revealed a planned attempt to derail the investigation of the case. The bench said, 'When the war is going on, you glorify these officers and now your senior SP says, I am unable to arrest them in spite of their bail being cancelled, just because they are policemen.' Taking exception to such an approach, the court was initially inclined to impose a heavy cost of ₹10 lakh on the policemen while dismissing their petition. However, the court refrained from imposing the penalty as it dismissed their petitions observing, 'If you have nothing to hide, why feel shy of an independent enquiry.' The policemen claimed that they were victims of undue sensationalism as the colonel and his son were drunk and even the policemen sustained injuries during the scuffle.

Two more held for sending obscene messages to actress Ramya
BENGALURU: Two more persons were arrested on Sunday for allegedly sending vulgar messages to actor and former MP Ramya on Instagram. So far, a total of four accused have been arrested by the Central Crime Branch (CCB) officers in connection with the case. The police said the two arrested individuals have been identified as Rajesh and Bhuvan Gowda. In addition, 11 more individuals have been identified in connection with the online abuse. Efforts are underway to track down the remaining accused, the police added. A CCB officer said, 'We are verifying whether they are fans of a particular actor, but we are taking the case seriously as it involves online abuse.' Ramya filed a complaint with the city police commissioner on July 28 against 43 social media accounts after receiving misogynistic, obscene, and threatening comments, allegedly from fans and fan groups of actor Darshan. This followed her expression of support for the Supreme Court's observations in the Renukaswamy murder case, in which Darshan is the prime accused. She had demanded justice for the victim's family.

Brazil's Supreme Court orders house arrest for former President Bolsonaro, a Trump ally
SAO PAULO: Brazil's Supreme Court on Monday ordered the house arrest for former President Jair Bolsonaro, on trial for allegedly masterminding a coup plot to remain in office despite his defeat in the 2022 election — a case that has gripped the South American country as it faces a trade war with the Trump administration. Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who oversees the case against Bolsonaro before the top court, said in his decision that the 70-year-old former president had violated precautionary measures imposed on him by spreading content through his three lawmaker sons. Bolsonaro's lawyers said in a statement that he will appeal the decision. They said his words 'good afternoon, Copacabana, good afternoon my Brazil, a hug to everyone, this is for our freedom" — broadcast from a cell phone of one of his sons during a Sunday protest in Rio de Janeiro — cannot 'be regarded as ignoring precautionary measures or as a criminal act.' The trial of the far-right leader is receiving renewed attention after U.S. President Donald Trump directly tied a 50% tariff on imported Brazilian goods to his ally's judicial situation. Trump has called the proceedings a ' witch hunt,' triggering nationalist reactions from leaders of all branches of power in Brazil, including President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Hours after the decision, the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs said on X that the Trump administration 'condemns (de) Moraes' order imposing house arrest on Bolsonaro and will hold accountable all those aiding and abetting sanctioned conduct.' 'Putting even more restrictions on Jair Bolsonaro's ability to defend himself in public is not a public service. Let Bolsonaro speak!' the U.S. State Department body said. Brazil's government has not commented on the case.
