BENGALURU: A policeman was bitten in the leg by stray dogs when a team had gone to Sriramanagari in Vinayak Nagar under Jeevan Bima Nagar police limits in connection with a case. The injured policeman has been admitted to Manipal Hospital for treatment.
A woman named Chitra had lodged a complaint alleging that a group of 6-8 men had pelted stones at stray dogs at the open ground behind Visvesvaraya School in Sriramanagari as they had assumed that the dogs had eaten domesticated sheep and chicken on September 23. She had further expressed apprehension that the men may have killed some of the dogs as four of them were missing since the day of the stone-pelting and one was injured.
When a team of the Jeevan Bima Nagar police when to the ground on Thursday, a pack of stray dogs attacked them, leaving one police personnel injured. Local residents say they are fed up of the stray dog menace and have vented their anger at the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike.
