The boy, Arjun, sustained injuries on the right side of his chest and left leg. Neighbours rushed to help the child and took him to a nearby private hospital, from where he was later shifted for further treatment.

His mother, Pavithra, stated that she sought the help of the dog's owners - Maeniel and Maheshwari - as her son was traumatised following the incident and appealed to the authorities to ensure the owners bear the medical expenses.

Based on Pavithra's complaint, the Secretariat Colony police registered a community service register entry and launched an investigation.
