Uttar Pradesh: Pregnant woman fights stray dogs to save 3 kids, all injured

BAREILLY

: A pregnant woman fought with a pack of stray dogs single-handedly to save her children in UP’s Pilibhit district on Tuesday morning. She was scratched and bitten by the pack but she pushed and kicked the dogs till they retreated and disappeared. Her children, aged between 10 and three years, also sustained injuries. Her daughter is in a critical condition.


This incident took place at Barha village on the outskirts of Pilibhit city under

Sungadi

police station.

Farmer Danveer

Singh had gone out for work while his wife,

Seema Devi

, was cooking. Their three children, Anuj, 10, Pallavi, 5, and Monu, 3, were playing outside the house. Suddenly, she heard Pallavi screaming. She rushed out and to her horror, saw a pack of some six dogs dragging away Pallavi while two dogs were mauling her sons,

Anuj

and Monu.

Seema ran towards the dogs to rescue her children. After a struggle of nearly 10 minutes, she managed to rescue her children, pulling them out from the canine jaws.

The pack fled, leaving the bleeding woman and children. The dogs had ripped off flesh from Pallavi’s head and arms and severely bitten Seema on her hands. All four were taken to the community health center where mother and daughter were referred to the district hospital.

Doctors said Pallavi was suffering from trauma and was critical.

Srikant Dwivedi

, SHO of Sungadi police station, told TOI, “We went to the village after getting the information about the attack. Since the family was injured by stray dogs, no complaint is possible in this case. A team from the municipal corporation went to the village and assured the locals that a drive will be conducted to catch the stray dogs in the area.”

Earlier this year, an eight-year-old schoolgirl was mauled to death by stray dogs in Amaria block in the district.
