Woman in Hyderabad Attacked by 15 Stray Dogs During Morning Walk

A woman named Rajeshwari was injured after being attacked by 15 stray dogs during her morning walk in Hyderabad on June 21. The incident was captured on CCTV.

Rajeshwari’s Ordeal

Rajeshwari narrated, “On that day, while I was walking, there were two dogs on the road. I walked away from them. But one of the dogs started barking at me and soon the pack attacked me. I tried to scare them away as they surrounded me. I got up after falling many times.”

She added, “The dogs ran away after a man driving a car and another man riding a scooter turned up there. At that moment, the watchman also rushed in and scared them away. Around 15 dogs attacked me. Many people are being attacked by stray dogs but no one is responding. When we restrict the dogs from entering the premises, some people file cases on us.”

Husband’s Concerns

Rajeshwari’s husband, Badri, complained that many tenants feed strays inside the premises of their rented accommodation. He said, “I live at MIG flats, Chitrapuri colony, Manikonda. My wife goes for a morning walk every day at 6 am. On the morning of June 21, as she was walking, all the dogs attacked her. She tried to scare away the dogs but fell after some time.”

He added, “She was only saved by God’s grace. As this happened in the early morning, there was no one around. There are many tenants who feed these dogs inside their premises. Earlier, when we tried to raise the issue, arguments broke out. There are around 40 dogs here. We do not have any objection to pet dogs as I myself own 2. But the 15-20 dogs that attacked my wife were street dogs.”
