Due to the seriousness of his injuries, Swarup was later transferred to a larger hospital in Nagpur for advanced treatment. Doctors have reported deep wounds on his neck, raising concerns about possible effects on his brain. His condition is currently critical, and he remains under intensive medical care.
This is the third stray dog attack in the area in recent months, leaving residents in a state of panic. Locals allege that the authorities have taken no concrete action to control the growing stray dog population. There are no active dog-catching operations, nor any arrangements for vaccination or sterilization, they say.
The lack of action has angered the community, with many voicing strong dissatisfaction against the administration. Citizens are now demanding immediate intervention to protect the public from further harm.
