A 30-year-old woman in Uttar Pradesh succumbed to injuries after being brutally attacked by a pack of dogs.

The incident took place in Bijnaura, a village in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh that falls under the Hasanpur police station. The woman, identified as Nathia, was on her way back home during the evening after collecting cattle fodder. After being viciously attacked by the stray pack, the woman, left unconscious, was taken to the Hasanpur community centre by her family. The woman was declared dead on arrival. The 30-year-old suffered wounds on her face, throat, and stomach.

According to local villagers, stray dogs have been a nuisance in the area, often attacking people belonging to various neighbourhoods like Kanata, Rampur, Deeppur and Bhabha.

In December last year, a pack of stray dogs had mauled a 15-year-old girl to death at Husanpur village, Amroha. The girl had gone outside her house to dispose garbage. Many instances of dog attacks have been reported in the area. While its common for stray dogs to attack children, it is quite rare for dogs to kill adults.

A similar incident took place in Bhopal a month ago. A 4-year-old girl was hospitalised under critical care after being attacked by a pack of dogs in her neighbourhood. The footage of the attack had gone viral on the internet. In the video, the girl is seen getting mauled by five dogs that are later chased away by a man who threw stones. The girl is also seen bleeding in the video.

In another instance, a 6-year-old boy died after succumbing to a dog attack in 2019. The boy was attacked by over half a dozen stray dogs. The boy’s mother sustained serious injuries trying to save him.
