Ahmedabad, India: A four-month-old baby girl was mauled to death by a pet Rottweiler dog after it broke free from its owner's control at a residential society in Gujarat's Ahmedabad city, police said on Tuesday.

The incident occurred in Hathijan area of the city on Monday night, they said.

The baby girl's maternal aunt took her out in the common garden of the housing society. At that time, a woman resident brought her pet Rottweiler downstairs while talking on the phone, police inspector Hitesh Baria said.
