The girl named Anisha had gone to the forest to defecate around 6 AM in the morning when she was brutally attacked and killed by some wild stray dogs.
When she did not return for almost an hour, the family members went out to search in the forest.
Shockingly, they saw around six to seven stray dogs nudging the girl's body. Hearing the voices of the family members, many other villagers also reached the spot and pelted stones at the dogs.
Immediately, the police were informed, who reached the spot with a team of MOB and FSL for investigation.
The body of the deceased was taken to the hospital for a post-mortem, while the police also sent some samples to the forensic lab for examination.
Talking about the incident to India Today, the father of the deceased, Lal Khan Banjara, said he was sure that his daughter had died after being attacked by stray dogs.
He said, "She died because of the dogs. We have seen a pack of stray dogs eating our daughter. She had gone to defecate around 6 AM in the morning. When she did not return by 7 AM, we went to look out for her when we saw dogs scratching her."
The police have launched an investigation to look for another angle but, as per the statement of the relatives and villagers, the girl died due to a dog attack.
Speaking on the matter, ASP Tonk, Subhash Chandra Mishra said the body of the deceased had been handed over to the family members after post-mortem.
He said that this is probably the first case of death of a person due to a dog attack in the district.
Why do we choose to live with large carnivores?
The trade off of warmth for alerts is long past.
An eighth of the population of my local urban proper are canines.
We are indeed nine meals away from a most serious issue.
Perhaps set up that way.
Nothing clears cleared capital like the digestive process.
