The Noida incident came less than two months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government recommended a ban on a number of dog breeds, including the Rottweiler, Pitbull, American Bulldog and others, considered to be dangerous.

The Centre's recommendation came in response to the massive increase in severe and fatal attacks by dogs of the breeds now deemed "dangerous".
