At the same time, a resident of the same area, Mohammad Sohail Hasan Khan (age 43, profession AC repairer), deliberately left his brown pet dog (Pitbull) open, and not only this, he sat in the rickshaw with the dog, and the dog kept biting the victim child, and the accused kept sitting there and making fun. 

Due to lack of control and supervision over the dog, the dog bit the child on the chin, and hand causing injury.
