A disturbing incident involving a pet dog attack has come to light from Bengaluru’s HSR Layout, leaving a woman with serious injuries and triggering public concern over pet safety in residential areas.

The incident occurred early on January 26, Republic Day, in the Teachers’ Colony area of HSR Layout. At around 6:54 am, the woman had stepped out for her regular morning walk near her residence when she was suddenly attacked by a pet dog owned by a local resident, identified as Amaresh Reddy.

Doctors confirmed that the injuries were deep and severe, especially on her face and neck. As a result, she had to undergo stitching, with nearly 20 stitches administered to close the wounds.

The woman remains traumatised by the attack, and her condition is being closely monitored by medical staff.

Following the incident, the woman’s husband lodged a formal complaint at the HSR Layout police station.
