Hyderabad: A heart-wrenching incident
Hyderabad: A heart-wrenching incident took place in Hyderabad, a 5-year-old toddler was mauled to death by a few stray dogs.
Spine-chilling visuals of the incident were captured by a CCTV camera near the premises in Amberpet where the boy’s father worked as a security guard.
The video showed that the boy, named Pradeep, was roaming alone on an empty street on his own when the dogs started barking and then pulling his clothes. The terrified boy tries to run, but the dogs close in and push him to the ground.
Every time he tries to get up, the dogs attack him and bring him down. Soon, they completely overpower him and bit him all over. Three smaller dogs appear and are seen looking on as the big dogs keep biting the child and dragging him to a corner. The child, it appears from the visuals, died on the spot.
Pradeep had accompanied his father to work when he was attacked.
Telangana’s Municipal Administration Minister KT Rama Rao said, “Sincere condolences to the family. Very pained by what happened. Will do everything in our capacity to ensure this does not repeat”.
The minister KT Rama Rao added, “We have established animal care centres and animal birth control centres and try and tackle this challenge. We try to treat the animals in a humane manner as well. Biological waste disposal is a serious issue. When there is an incident like this, there is furor and uproar. We will do all that we can to stop this.”
No complaint has been filed by the family, police said.
