The parents went searching for him after an hour when they found his dead body. In another incident, an 8-month-old girl Swathi was seriously injured at another construction site located in Muthangi village in Patancheru mandal. These two incidents happened just 3-KM apart.

The girl was rushed to Niloufer Hospital after providing first aid at Patancheru Hospital. The condition of the girl is said to be critical. The two incidents in the district exposed the increasing stray dog menace while also exposing the lack of protection for children of migrant workers at construction sites. While the parents were busy working, no one looked after the children, which resulted in these two incidents.
