Stray dog attacks, bites 5-year-old girl in Rajasthan’s Kota; incident caught on cam

A five-year-old girl in Kota, Rajasthan was attacked by a stray dog, resulting in deep wounds to her head, back, and wrists. The incident occurred in the Bengali Colony of Chawani area earlier this week, as reported by news agency PTI. The girl was in a lane outside her house when the dog attacked her, dragging her in the street and biting her multiple times.

Neighbors heard her screams and chased the dog away before taking her to the hospital. The Kota Municipal Corporation (KMC) is addressing the stray dog issue by constructing a shelter for aggressive dogs. Currently, there is no permanent shelter for such dogs, but construction of a dedicated facility is underway in Banda Dharampura area, expected to be completed in seven to eight months and capable of housing 600 to 700 animals.
