Overview
- CCTV footage shows a muzzled pet dog suddenly lunging at three girls inside a Sheth Irene lift on Thursday, with two girls escaping and one briefly trapped while personal items were dropped.
- Malad Police took suo motu cognisance, traced the incident to the society and questioned the resident who owns the dog.
- Officers verified that the owner held the required government licences and reported no injuries, and no formal complaint has been lodged so no cognisable offence was registered.
- The video shows the owner struggling to restrain the animal on a leash and at one point being pulled by the dog before she brought it under control.
- The viral clip has revived public calls for clearer housing-society rules on pets in common areas and may prompt tighter lift-access policies such as mandatory muzzles, leash rules or designated pet times.
