A four-year-old boy died on Friday evening after being attacked by a stray dog in the Dhariyapura-Kotanoor GDA Layout of Kalaburagi, according to reports by The Hindu, Deccan Herald and The Pioneer.
The boy, identified as Manoj Sharanabasappa Vagdaragi, was playing on the road when the incident occurred. He sustained serious wounds to his stomach and other areas of his body.
Manoj was taken to a private hospital and later moved to the Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences, but he died before he could recover.
The same dog, which is suspected to be rabid, reportedly bit 13 people during their morning walk on Saturday. All those injured are receiving treatment at the District Hospital.
A case has been registered against the Kalaburagi City Corporation at the Station Bazar Police Station. Residents have called for compensation for the family and requested that civic authorities control the stray dog population.
