Meerut, May 25 -- An 11-year-old girl was mauled to death by a pack of stray dogs while returning from a field in Shahjahanpur district on Sunday. The child suffered multiple deep bite wounds on her neck and body and later succumbed to her injuries during treatment at a government medical college. The incident took place around 7am near the charging station point area in Kakra locality. According to officials and family members, Naeem, a daily wage labourer and farmer, had gone to a field with his daughter Sawaliya to pluck vegetables. He later sent the girl home to call her brother Ikram. As the child walked some distance away from her father, a pack of around five to six stray dogs suddenly attacked her. The dogs reportedly bit her neck at three places and inflicted nearly 10 to 12 severe wounds across her body. People passing through the area noticed the horrifying attack and immediately informed Naeem. When the father rushed to the spot with other villagers, he found his daughter lying in a pool of blood while the dogs continued to maul her. Witnesses said the traumatic sight caused Naeem to faint on the spot. Local residents managed to drive the dogs away and rushed the critically injured girl to the Government Medical College. However, doctors could not save her, and she died during treatment. Later, the grieving family took the body home in an ambulance without conducting a post-mortem examination. The girl's uncle, Rafi Ahmad, said Sawaliya belonged to a financially struggling family. He said her father Naeem supports the family through labour work and farming on leased land. Following the incident, the child's mother, Shabana, has been devastated and inconsolable....
