India. A 32-year-old woman, Shobha, died after being attacked by a pack of stray dogs around midnight on Monday near Ambethan Chowk.
Just after 2 AM on Monday night, she was walking along the service road under the flyover when a pack of six to seven stray dogs surrounded her and attacked her.
The woman was living in the area to support her 13-year-old physically challenged son's education. She worked at a private company/factory and often doing night shifts and she worked at a local hospital.
The footage shows she was trying to defend herself by picking up stones and attempting to drive the dogs away. However, as the dogs were in large numbers, she was unable to protect herself. The dogs attacked her hands, legs, face and neck and severely injured her. Due to heavy blood loss, she reportedly died on the spot within about 15 minutes.
On Tuesday morning, local residents found the woman’s body lying by the roadside in a partially unclothed condition. Initially, there were suspicions of murder or sexual assault. However, after examining the CCTV footage from the area, police confirmed that the woman died due to a stray dog attack.
Locals said they had repeatedly complained to authorities about the rising number of stray dogs in the township and surrounding city areas, but alleged that no concrete action had been taken to address the issue.
