Toddler mauled to death by pet Rottweiler dog
Ahmedabad, May 13 (PTI): A four-month-old baby girl was mauled to death by a pet Rottweiler dog after it broke free from its owner's control at a residential society in Gujarat's Ahmedabad city, police said on Tuesday.
The incident occurred in Hathijan area of the city on Monday night, they said.
The baby girl's maternal aunt took her out in the common garden of the housing society. At that time, a woman resident brought her pet Rottweiler downstairs while talking on the phone, police inspector Hitesh Baria said.
"Suddenly, the dog got aggressive and attacked the infant and her aunt as it slipped from the owner's grip. Both the injured were rushed to the hospital but the baby eventually succumbed to her injuries while her aunt is still admitted to the hospital," he added.
"We have sent the infant's body for post-mortem and launched an investigation. An FIR will be registered after the post-mortem report is received," the inspector said.
The CCTV footage shared by the housing society shows a large Rottweiler attacking the infant and her aunt when they were sitting near the garden with others. Before the owner could react and take control, the aggressive dog mauled the baby and left her aunt injured.
Raju Chauhan, the toddler's maternal uncle, told reporters that the baby died due to deep wounds on her neck and skull.
After learning about the incident, Vivekanandnagar police of the Ahmedabad Rural rushed to the spot and launched a probe.

Minister Parameshwara says remarks on properties linked to drug peddlers 'misunderstood'
Tumakuru (PTI): Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Saturday said his recent remarks on the demolition of properties linked to those involved in narcotics trade were "misunderstood and misinterpreted".
His clarification follows remarks made two days ago on the government's uncompromising crackdown on the drug menace, including action against properties linked to foreign nationals allegedly involved in drug trafficking.
"It is unfortunate. It is taken in the wrong sense. I didn't mean that tomorrow itself I am going to send bulldozers and demolish the houses. That was not my intention. It was wrongly taken," he told reporters here.
Responding to Congress MLC K Abdul Jabbar's question in the legislative council on the growing drug menace in Bengaluru, Davangere and coastal districts, the minister on Thursday detailed the extensive enforcement measures initiated since the Congress government assumed office.
Pointing to the involvement of some foreign nationals, the minister had said, "Many foreign students from African countries have come to Karnataka. They are into the drug business. We catch them and register cases against them, but they want the case to be registered because once the case is registered, we cannot deport them."
"We have gone to the extent of demolishing the rented building where they stay," he had said.
