At least 271 persons in the national capital were bitten by dogs on an average everyday in the past one year, Rajya Sabha was told. 98,965 cases of dog bite were reported during the last one year in Delhi while the figure for cases of monkey bite stood at 1490, according to the statistics presented by Minister of State for Home Affairs Haribhai Chaudhury.
