The woman's husband said a young man, who was sitting on the roof of a nearby colony, rushed to the spot and chased the dogs away. Another young man and a Kashmiri resident assisted in taking the injured woman, covered in blood, back to her home. She was initially taken to a private hospital but was referred to the civil hospital since it was a case of dog bites.

Doctors at the hospital are treating her wounds while keeping a close watch for symptoms of rabies, a potentially fatal disease that affects the nervous system and the brain. At the time of reporting, it was said that the woman was currently in a coma (unconscious) at the hospital.
