A case was registered by the police after a dog bit a school boy inside a housing society elevator in Gaziabad.

Meanwhile, a video of the incident has gone viral on social media platforms. In the video, the dog can be seen attacking the little boy. Soon after that, the boy starts limping on one foot.

The lady who is the owner of the dog, however, stands still and does nothing even after the dog bites the boy. She doesn't even make an effort to help the little boy and walks out of the lift as soon as the gate opens.

As per the reports, the incident happened in Rajnagar Extension's Charms Castle and the boy's parents approached Nandigram Police Station where a complaint under IPC section 289 (negligent conduct with respect to animals) of IPC was registered.

"In the viral video from Charms Castle in Rajnagar Extension, a boy was attacked by a dog and the woman stood in her place holding the leash. A complaint has been lodged by the boy's father and the investigation is still underway," said Alok Dubey, Circle Officer, as quoted by the news agency ANI.

The incident was caught on a CCTV camera installed inside the elevator of the residential complex. The video shows the boy being attacked by the dog with its leash in the woman's hand. When she walked out of the lift, the dog again leaped upon the child but was pulled away by the woman.

The same video has now made its way on social media with netizens expressing displeasure at the way in which the dog-owner responded. At the same time, many users also pointed out that she should be held responsible for the incident. A user said, “The woman should be fined and a complaint should be filed against her.” "Beware of dogs and dog owners," a second user said.
