Deaths due to attacks by stray dogs in Hyderabad
In the recent past, children have become victims of attacks by stray dogs in the city.
In December last year, a five-month-old baby died in the Vinoba Nagar neighborhood in the Shaikpet area.
Another one-year-old child became a victim of an attack by a stray dog in Hyderabad in February 2024. The incident took place in Shamshabad.
In April 2024, a two-and-a-half-year-old girl was mauled to death by stray dogs while she was playing outside an under-construction apartment building in Gayatri Nagar.
