Residents of Motilal Nagar in Goregaon West are living in fear after a stray dog allegedly bit multiple people over the past few days. Locals say the brown dog attacks without barking or giving any warning, often jumping on people and biting them on the face, chest, back or shoulder. The BMC has begun efforts to capture the animal.

According to residents, the dog has been roaming in the locality for the last three to four days and has already injured several people. Laleshwar Dubey, a security guard at Pancham Society, said, “I was on duty when the dog suddenly attacked me. It bit me on my shoulder. It’s extremely aggressive. This isn’t a society dog. It has been roaming around for days, and many people have been bitten. Everyone is scared to even walk through the area.”
