Bajpe: A six-year-old boy returning home from a madrasa was attacked by a pack of stray dogs in Souharda Nagar under the Kandavara Gram Panchayat limits in Bajpe on Thursday morning.
The injured boy has been identified as Ahil, son of Muhammad Azhar, a resident of Souharda Nagar.
According to eyewitnesses, the child was walking back home after attending madrasa classes when several stray dogs suddenly surrounded and bit him on his cheek and hand, leaving him seriously injured.
Hearing the boy’s screams, his mother rushed out and managed to rescue him from the dogs. He was immediately taken to the government hospital in Bajpe for first aid and later shifted to Durga Sanjeevini Manipal Hospital in Kateel for further treatment.
Speaking to reporters, the boy’s uncle, Muhammad Muzammil, expressed anger over the inaction of local authorities. “We have been submitting complaints to the Kandavara Gram Panchayat for the past three years asking them to control stray dog attacks, but no action has been taken. Whenever we raise the issue, officials say they can’t act because of court restrictions on killing stray dogs,” he said.

Four more arrested in brigadier assault case in Delhi
New Delhi (PTI): Four more accused have been arrested in connection with the alleged assault on an Army brigadier, his son and threatening his wife in southwest Delhi's Vasant Enclave area, police said on Friday.
The accused have been identified as Surjit Singh (36), Sunil Sharma (53) and Ashish (32), all from Mehram Nagar in Delhi, and Satender (35) of Bhiwani in Haryana, police said.
According to police, Surjit Singh was known to the main accused Satender, a director of an aviation company. All of them were sitting together in Mehram Nagar when Satender called them regarding a quarrel in Vasant Enclave.
"Following the call, all four left for the spot in Surjit's white Hyundai Aura. After reaching there, they got involved in the altercation and assault before returning to their respective homes," a senior police officer said.
After learning about the registration of the case, the accused fled and went into hiding, he said.
"Teams were constituted to trace them and all four absconding accused were arrested," he said.
The Hyundai Aura used in the incident has also been recovered, police said.
Further investigation into the case is underway. The role of each accused is being examined, they said.
According to the investigators, the incident took place on the night of April 11, when the brigadier and his son objected to the two men allegedly consuming alcohol inside a car parked outside their residence. Soon, others reached the spot and allegedly assaulted the officer and his son, besides abusing and threatening his wife.
