The deceased was identified as Sushila Tripathi. Her son, Amit, a gym trainer, owned two pet dogs – a pitbull and a labrador. The dog which attacked the woman, named Brownie, was brought home three years ago. The family used to live in the Bengali Tola area of Kaiserbagh.
The incident took place at around 6 am when the woman was alone in the house. Later, her son found her lying in a pool of blood. She was rushed to the Balrampur hospital where she succumbed due to excessive loss of blood.
