Pet Dog Attacks Woman in Rajkot; Owner Seen Slapping Victim in CCTV Footage

Rajkot: A shocking incident has come to light in which a pet dog attacked a woman inside a residential society. However, instead of showing any remorse over the incident, the dog’s owner allegedly slapped the victim. CCTV footage of the episode has now emerged.

According to details, the incident occurred on Tuesday at Surbhi Possible Flats on Rolex Road in the Kotharia area of the city. The pet dog attacked a resident, Kiran Vaghela, as she was approaching the lift. Following the attack, the victim can be seen requesting the boy who had taken the dog for a walk to be more careful near the lift area. At that moment, the dog’s owner, identified as Payal Goswami, who was also present, became agitated and suddenly slapped the victim. The footage shows a verbal altercation that escalated into the assault.

Residents of the society claim they have long been troubled by the behaviour of the dog owner and accuse her of intimidating them. They also allege that during an earlier complaint, she had brought antisocial elements to threaten society members.

This is not the first complaint filed against the dog owner. Residents had reportedly approached the police earlier regarding similar issues, claiming that the dog often behaves aggressively and that its owner mistreats anyone who raises concerns. At the time, the owner had assured residents that the dog would not be allowed off the leash.

With the resurfacing of CCTV footage and fresh allegations, residents are now demanding strict action against the dog owner. DeshGujarat
