A woman who was scared of being bitten by stray dogs rammed her scooty into a car parked on the side of the road in Odisha’s Berhampur city. The CCTV visuals of the incident have gone viral. In the video, it can be seen that there were three people on the scooty, and all sustained injuries after the woman driving the scooty rammed it into a car parked on the side as she was being chased by stray dogs.
In another incident in Karnataka, the body of a newborn was seen being dragged around by a dog near the maternity ward of a government hospital in Shivamogga district on Saturday, officials said on Sunday. The distressing incident has prompted civic authorities to review the menace of stray dogs in the city.
Security guards at McGann district hospital in Shivamogga said they chased away the dog after they noticed it was running around the hospital’s maternity ward carrying what appeared to be a newborn baby in its mouth at around 7am on Saturday, hospital officials said. The child was found dead when it was recovered, officials said, adding that they are examining whether the infant died before the dog bite or as a result of it.
