Due to lack of toilet in home, Siluvamma went to the beach side for urination at around 8 pm when the incident happened. Hearing her cries, Siluvamma's son Selvaraj came and tried to rescue her. However, he too was attacked by the stray dogs. Selvaraj escaped unhurt by jumping into the sea. Hearing the cries of Selvaraj, neighbors came and rescued Silvamma. However, she sustained serious injuries by then.
People in the locality said that stray dog attacks are common, but a gruesome incident like this happened for the first time.
Silvuamma's body is kept at Govt Taluk Hospital, Neyyatinkara.

Recently, a Supreme Court appointed panel has stated that more than one lakh people in the state had been bitten by dogs in 2015-16. The panel has stated that the frequent stray dog attack on children have created a dangerous situation.
Mounting garbages are a major reason for the increase of stray dogs.
Obviously, when a problem persists and authorities do nothing, they must want it to occur... repeatedly, so why is that so in this case? One reason might just be population control, no special Western vaccines needed.
