The status of the child and mother's health following the attack remains unclear. It is uncertain whether the dog had a muzzle, but it was confirmed that the pet was unrestrained on the public street. As the dog assaulted the child, other dogs in the area made attempts to join the aggression, thwarted by the prompt actions of the people present.
This incident follows a similar event on January 9, where a seven-year-old girl was reportedly attacked by a neighbour's American Bully dog in Delhi's Rohini, sustaining 15 injuries. Additionally, on January 2, a one-and-a-half-year-old girl suffered three fractures and multiple stitches in an alleged dog attack in north Delhi's Burari while out for a walk with her grandfather.
