A four-year-old girl sustained serious injuries after being attacked by a group of stray dogs in Bengaluru’s Sahakarnagar area on Sunday evening, according to a report of the Times of India. As per the report, the incident occurred near the indoor stadium in CQAL Layout.
The child, identified as Sangeetha, suffered wounds to her face, hands, and legs. She was taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors administered anti-rabies treatment. Medical sources indicated that she is currently recovering.
According to CCTV footage, the girl, whose parents are construction workers from Yadgir district, was walking near the stadium at around 4:30 pm when six stray dogs surrounded and attacked her. Neighbours reportedly rushed to her aid and managed to rescue her from the animals.
Speaking about the incident, the girl's father, Hanumantha, said that local residents often feed the dogs. As a result, the animals are familiar with people in the area but can become hostile toward strangers or newcomers.
The attack has sparked anger among residents and prompted officials from the Bengaluru North City Corporation’s animal husbandry department to visit the location and gather details from the community.
