A 43-year-old man allegedly unleashed his Pit Bull on an 11-year-old boy, Hamza.

The dog bit the child on the chin while the owner, Mohammad Sohail Hasan, watched and laughed from the front seat of an auto-rickshaw.

A video of the incident shows the frightened boy trying to escape as the dog attacked him. Bystanders reportedly recorded the scene, but did not intervene.

The police have filed a case against Hasan under sections 291 and 125 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for negligence and causing hurt.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
