A 37-year-old woman scientist suffered multiple injuries and had to undergo a nose reconstruction surgery after two pet dogs of a man residing in the neighbourhood attacked her in Mumbai’s Powai area, police said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The two canines — a pitbull and a doberman — are owned Divesh Virk, and were under the care of his driver and house maid when the incident took place on March 22 morning, an official said, adding a case has been registered against the three persons.<\/p>\n
Richa Kaushik-Arora, a research scientist working with a private firm, was walking towards her flat, which is under renovation, at Jal Vayu Vihar in Powai, the official said.<\/p>\n
The accused maid and the driver arrived there in a car along with the dogs belonging to Virk, who has a house in a neighbouring building.<\/p>\n
The maid lost control of the dogs’ leashes, following which both the canines attacked the woman, causing injuries to her face, nose, hands and legs, the official said.<\/p>\n
The woman was rushed to a private hospital by another resident and her father-in-law. She underwent a nose reconstruction surgery, the official said.<\/p>\n
After being alerted, the Powai police reached the spot.<\/p>\n
Based on the complaint filed by the woman, the Powai police on March 23 registered the case against the three persons and were conducting a probe into it, the official said.<\/p>\n
