The boy attempts to fend them off but is overwhelmed by the canines when more dogs pounce at him from several directions, causing the child to fall to the ground as rabid beasts drag and tear at him.
Luckily, locals were alerted by the boy’s cries for help and chased the dogs away by hurling stones at them. The child received grievous injuries in the vicious dog attack and was rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
Notably, this is the second such incident in Telangana within a span of less than a week. Last week, a 6-year-old boy was mauled to death by a pack of stray dogs in Patancheru area of Sangareddy district.
The incident took place on Friday (June 26), when the child, the son of a construction worker from Bihar, was attacked by stray dogs behind the camp where the family stayed when he had gone to answer nature’s call.
The boy received severe injuries in the attack and died on the spot.
The surging incident of stray dog attacks have triggered outrage in Telangana with citizens demanding authorities to introduce strict measures in order to curb the menace.
In another incident, last month, a woman in Hyderabad had a narrow escape after she was besieged by a pack of stray dogs on the street while she was out for her daily morning walk on Saturday morning.
The woman’s husband had shared the chilling CCTV footage of her harrowing ordeal on social media in a bid to raise awareness about the menace of street dogs which plagues the area.
