A six-month-old baby is in critical condition at a hospital in Haryana after being mauled by a dog at a residential property in Sonipat. CCTV footage of the attack has circulated widely. As of September 18, the family had not filed a written police complaint.
The attack occurred on the evening of September 14, 2026, at Sikka Colony in Sonipat, Haryana. The baby suffered bite wounds described by family members as affecting the face, mouth, hands, stomach and other parts of the body. Doctors reportedly put around 20 stitches on the baby, who was transferred to PGI Rohtak in critical condition. The baby’s aunt was also reported injured. The family says a dog was kept at a neighbouring property and the gate was opened that evening.

The dog’s owner has not been publicly identified or named by police. Authorities have not formally confirmed the breed. The family describes the animal as a pit bull, and this has been widely reported in media coverage. However, no police or veterinary authority has independently confirmed the breed as of the time this article was published — that distinction matters for any legal action that follows.
The gap between the CCTV footage circulating publicly and the absence of a police complaint reflects the family’s situation as reported. As of the latest reports, the family had not filed a written police complaint. The status of any police inquiry or action should be confirmed directly with Sonipat police.
