On Monday, a six-year-old boy was mauled to death by a pack of stray dogs when he was going to his school in Rajasthan’s Chittorgarh district.

The incident took place in Parsoli village under Begun tehsil, sub-inspector of Parsoli police station Prem Singh Khangarot said, adding the dogs attacked the boy as he tried to run and injured him badly.

The boy identified as Aayush was rushed to a nearby hospital by villagers where he succumbed to injuries.

“The boy received multiple severe wounds in the attack,” Khangarot said.

Taking cognisance of the incident, the Rajasthan Human Rights Commission directed Chittorgarh SP to present a report on the dog attack. Acting Chairman of the commission Justice Ramchandra Jhala sought a “factual” report from the SP asking what action has been taken by the administration in the case.
