Raipur, Chhattisgarh: In an alarming incident, two Pitbull dogs attacked Salman Khan, a food delivery man, in Anupam Nagar, under the Khamardih police station area. The attack took place on Friday as Salman entered the residence of Dr. Akshat Rao to deliver an order.
A video of the incident, which quickly went viral, shows Salman being bitten by the dogs, writhing in pain, and desperately trying to escape. He eventually managed to climb onto a parked car, bloodied and pleading for help. The video sparked widespread outrage, with many demanding justice and proper compensation for Salman.
“Jail the dog owner. The owner should pay for trauma and medical charges to the delivery person.” Another added, “Poor guy, hope he got the proper treatment. The owner should pay for the entire treatment", a user commented.
Neighbours rushed Salman to the hospital after the attack. Speaking to local media, Salman expressed his fear and distress, stating that the situation could have been fatal for someone else. He also mentioned that Dr. Rao blamed him for entering the premises without calling first, an accusation Salman firmly denied, stating he was never warned about the dogs.
Further reports revealed that Dr. Rao’s Pitbulls have attacked five people previously, causing neighbors to live in fear as the dogs often roam freely when the house doors are left open.
In response to Salman’s complaint, the municipal corporation team visited Dr. Rao’s house on Monday morning to capture the Pitbulls. However, they left without the dogs, leaving the situation unresolved and the community in continued fear.
