Delhi Court Convicts Woman for Dog Attack
A woman in Delhi named Rajni Singh was found guilty by a court for a serious incident involving her pet dog.
The dog attacked a former employee, Sapna, who had come to collect her pending salary.
The attack left Sapna with severe injuries to her face and neck, including broken teeth and a deep wound on her neck.
The court believed that Rajni Singh intentionally let the dog attack Sapna after she refused an inappropriate demand.
The court also noted that Rajni Singh did not help Sapna with medical expenses.
However, the court did not find enough evidence to support the claim that Rajni Singh insulted Sapna.
The court will decide the punishment for Rajni Singh on January 31.
Rajni Singh was convicted for attempting culpable homicide and negligent conduct with her pet dog.
The victim, Sapna, suffered grievous injuries, including facial disfigurement and loss of teeth.
The court accepted the prosecution's version, citing strong medical evidence and the victim's testimony.
Singh was acquitted of the charge of insulting the modesty of the complainant due to lack of evidence.
The court will hear arguments on the sentence separately on January 31.
