**Kanpur, March 19, 2025** – A 90-year-old woman, Mohini Trivedi, was killed by her pet German Shepherd in Rawatpur, Kanpur, last Friday. The incident came to light on Wednesday when her grandson, Dheer Prashant Trivedi, requested the Kanpur Municipal Corporation (KMC) veterinary department to take custody of the dog.

According to police, the dog attacked Trivedi in her courtyard after she hit it with a stick. Her grandson and daughter-in-law, both with leg fractures, were unable to intervene. Trivedi sustained severe bites to her head, face, stomach, and hands and was pronounced dead at Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital.
