How pet dogs saved 2 sisters from attack by Ghaziabad neighbours

“An FIR has been registered today (Thursday) and we have arrested Kunwar Pal, 35, the main accused in the case. We are trying to nab the others,” said a police official.

The dogs have been admitted at a veterinary hospital. “One of them got 25 stitches and the other 18 stitches,” said the official.

The incident took place when the father of the two women, who had gone to Alwar, was on his way back home. Speaking to The Indian Express, Sundar Singh said, “My neighbour Pal and his landlord along with others got into a spat with my daughters, Poonam, 22, and Puja, 20, when they had taken the dogs out for a walk around 8.30pm.” A few minutes later, they came to their house. “They started misbehaving with my daughters. Our pet dogs Taru and Buzzo intervened. They (the neighbours) attacked my daughters and wounded the dogs with the knife,” Singh claimed.

An FIR was registered under relevant sections. Sanjeev Kumar Singh, SHO of Khoda Police Station, said they are scanning CCTV footage to ascertain the weapon used in the attack.

“One of my dogs was injured very badly. I don’t think he will make it…” said Singh.
