The chilling incident has put the spotlight on a rise in incidents of dog bites and dog attacks in the country
A five-month-old baby was mauled to death by a dog at Tandur in Telangana's Vikarabad district today. The boy, Babusai, was sleeping at his home, unattended, when the dog entered and attacked him. The baby's father Dattu, it is learnt, killed the dog after finding his son dead. Local media reports say the boy's parents had stepped out for work.
While some local residents have said the dog was a pet at Dattu's workplace, the owner of the unit has denied this and said it was a stray.
The chilling incident has put the spotlight on a rise in incidents of dog bites and dog attacks in the country. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare reported last December that incidents of dog bites have seen a 26.5 per cent year-on-year increase from 2022 to 2023.
