In a video gone viral, a pet dog in Ghaziabad bit a child in an elevator as its owner stood unmoved and unfazed. Following the incident, the child’s parents filed a complaint against woman. The incident was reported from Ghaziabad’s Rajnagar Extension’s Charms Castle and occurred earlier on Monday.

The incident was brought to light with a tweet whose caption was read – “A pet dog bites a kid in the lift while the pet owner keeps watching even while the pet owner the kid is in pain!”. The video of the incident shows the little boy standing in the housing society elevator as a woman with her pet dog enters the same.

The kid gets in front of the elevator as the two doors shut close, and the dog pounces on the little boy and bites the child on the leg. The boy reacts to the leashed dog’s bite instantly and winces and starts jumping on one foot.

Shockingly enough, the pet owner simply stands and watches the child wincing in pain. She continues to remain unfazed and simply steps out the elevator.

Following the video receiving outrage on social media, the Ghaziabad police tweeted saying legal action has been taken by the Nandgram police station based on the complaint of the child’s father.
