In a shocking incident, an elderly woman has been admitted in a Pune-based hospital after she was attacked by a stray dog who bit on her face and apparently injured her. The woman has also sustained spinal cord injuries.

82-year-old Saraswati Ananta Yewale, a resident of Karla Dihiwale village in Lonavala, at present is admitted in Sassoon General Hospital in the Intensive Care Unit. The incident took place on Monday around 3.30 am at Yewales house. Saraswati's son Shankar (60) recalled, 'Due to my mother's old age, she usually sleeps most of the time. As she is unable to open and close doors, the washroom door is usually kept open for her."
