Delhi: 5-year-old boy bitten by stray dog inside police colony
A five-year-old boy was bitten by a stray dog inside a police colony in east Delhi's Shakarpur on Sunday, while visiting relatives with his dad.
The attack happened just days after the Supreme Court updated its rules on stray dogs, now focusing on sterilizing and vaccinating them instead of keeping them confined.
