The officials added that no formal complaint has been filed in connection with the incident, the report stated. They also clarified that the dog’s owner was authorised to bring the pet into the elevator, as the housing society permits residents to use the lift with their pets. In the short viral video, three girls can be seen standing casually in the lift when a woman enters the lift along with her pet dog.
As soon as the doors of the lift were shut, the muzzled dog became aggressive and started lunging at the girls. The girls were visibly tense and started panicking. Later, in the video, the dog’s owner can be seen struggling to keep the animal under control as it repeatedly tries to lunge at the girls inside the elevator.
Two of the girls managed to escape as soon as the lift doors opened. The third remained trapped inside for a few moments, with the dog repeatedly charging toward her despite the owner’s attempts to hold it back.
