A group of dogs attacked the boy while he was playing in front of his house. His mother, Sirisha, had asked him to fetch a milk packet from a nearby shop. As Revanth was on his way to the shop, the dogs pounced on him, causing severe injuries. Reports indicate that he sustained injuries to his eyelids, hands, and head.
In a letter to the MAUD Principal Secretary, Forum president M Padmanabha Reddy argued that there have been cases in Hyderabad and elsewhere in Telangana wherein stray dogs have literally become like man eaters.
A CCTV footage of the incident, now widely shared on social media, captures the horrifying moment the dogs attacking the child. Responding to the boy's cries for help, residents use stones to beat and chase the dogs away.
He was rushed to the government hospital by his parents. However, since the injuries were of serious nature he was shifted to Niloufer Hospital in Hyderabad for treatment.
