Hyderabad: In a salutary lesson to owners who don’t keep a watch over their pet dogs, a man was arrested and produced before a magistrate on Tuesday after his dog nearly maimed a 72-year-old retired Army Colonel. A case was filed by the Kushaiguda police against the Sainikpuri resident for letting loose his dogs and for his negligence.
Colonel Vinod Kumar, who retired from the Jammu and Kashmir Rifles, was taking his morning walk in the lanes of Madhavapuri extension one morning when he noticed two dogs barking from inside a house. They escaped from the house and began chasing him.
In the traumatising minutes that followed, Colonel Kumar says that one of the dogs, a Dober-man, viciously mauled him.
Colonel unable to fend for himself
Speaking about the traumatising incident where a doberman viciously mauled him, Colonel (Retd) Vinod Kumar said, “He was trying to bite my throat. Though I kept resisting, he kept attacking me. He did not have any collar and even his master was unable to control him. Luckily, a watchman from an adjacent apartment came to my aid.”
Colonel Kumar was taken to the military hospital, where he received treatment. In his outpatient slip, the doctors observed that the colonel suffered multiple class-3 dog bites on his face, chest, palm, lips and back. The report shows that he sustained deep lacerations on his upper lip, multiple puncture lacerations on both palms apart from nail marks over his anterior chest. Doctors also prescribed the first dose of Rabipur and TT injections.
“I was more afraid of getting an attack than anything else as I already suffer from insulin-based diabetes, BP and asthma,” the colonel said.
Based on the colonel’s complaint, the Kushaiguda police registered an FIR under Section 289 IPC against the owner of the dog, Sripad Rao.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
