A six-year-old girl is battling for life after she was brutally mauled by stray dogs in an upscale residential colony of Noida, on Monday morning. The victim has been admitted to the ICU and is undergoing treatment at Yatharth hospital. 

According to the police, the incident took place in the basement number one of the 3C Lotus Boulevard society when the girl was playing with her friends. The victim’s father Suresh stated that he was informed by a resident of the society. 

“My wife and I had gone to work when the incident happened. She was playing near our house. The incident came to my knowledge when a resident came running to me and informed me that stray dogs have bitten my daughter,” said the girl’s father who works in the society. 

Around four-five dogs entered the basement, bit and then dragged the girl for 50 meters. On hearing her cries, a driver went to save her but he was also bitten by the dogs.

“Later, a watchman rescued the driver and the girl. When I rushed to the basement, she was crying and bleeding profusely. She had several bite marks,and was rushed to a nearby hospital,” the father added.

Residents rushed the girl, who was in critical condition, to Yatharth hospital. “The girl has several dog bites all over her body and most of them are deep cuts. She is critical and admitted in the ICU. She was bitten by stray dogs and we suspect that the dogs suffer from rabies. It will take a lot of time for the wounds to heal,” said Dr AK Jain, general surgeon, of Yatharth Wellness Hospital, sector 110, Noida.

Following the incident, residents have lodged an FIR against the builder of the society. 

“We have registered a case against the builder under section 289 (Negligent conduct with respect to animal) of the Indian Penal Code and are investigating the matter,” said Avnish Dixit, Station House Officer, Sector 39 police station, Noida.

Police said the girl lived with her parents in the basement of the society.
