In a shocking incident, a child was mauled by a ferocious pit bull in Uttar Pradesh's Gautam Buddha Nagar district even as neighbours tried to save the child from the clutches of the dog while the pet’s owner looked on. The incident took place in Badalpur village in the district's Dadri tehsil on Friday and the video went viral.
In a video of the incident, the ferocious pit bull can be seen mauling the child as two women make repeated attempts to release the wailing child from the dog's grip but fail. However, what’s even more shocking is that the dog’s owner can be seen standing on his terrace all this while but does nothing to rescue the child.
