On 3 January, a stray dog entered the Uday Mandir Police Station in Jodhpur and attacked two women constables on duty. The sudden assault triggered panic inside the police station and raised serious questions about security arrangements even within protected government facilities.
According to media reports, the dog reportedly entered the police station without any provocation and lunged at the constables. Before police personnel could react, it bit both women, leaving them injured. Other policemen rushed to control the situation and prevented further harm to the victims.
The injured constables were immediately taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors administered anti rabies injections as a precautionary measure. Medical sources said the condition of both women is stable, though they remain under observation and will be given the remaining doses as per the prescribed protocol.
Hospital authorities confirmed that the bites were treated seriously, and all necessary preventive measures against rabies were followed to rule out any future complications.
Security lapses under scrutiny
The incident has sparked concern over the security and maintenance of police station premises. The ease with which a stray animal entered a sensitive facility such as a police station has prompted questions about access control, perimeter security, and basic preventive measures.
Administration orders review
Senior police officials have taken note of the incident and ordered a review of security and sanitation arrangements at the police station. Coordination with the municipal authorities is also being discussed to address the growing stray dog problem in the city.
The episode underlines how the stray dog menace is no longer limited to streets and residential areas but is increasingly posing risks even to uniformed personnel inside official establishments.
