The victims, who are residents of Sector 124 in Sunny Enclave, Jandpur, Halalpur, and Jungian, were admitted to civil hospitals in Kharar and Mohali.
Shivinder Singh, who resides in Sunny Enclave, said, “There was screaming in the street after a 16-year-old girl was bitten by the pit bull. A man went to save her, but the dog bit his arm as well.”

He is admitted at the Phase 6 Civil Hospital. Kharar station house officer Ajit Pal Singh said, “At present, we have no information about the dog or its owner.”
