The heart-rending incident has yet again brought to the fore the menace of stray dogs, with many sharing visuals of the attack on social media.

Hyderabad: A pack of stray dogs surrounded a five-year-old boy and mauled him to death in Hyderabad on Sunday. Spine-chilling visuals of the incident were captured by a CCTV camera near the premises in Amberpet where the boy's father worked as a security guard.
The child, Pradeep, had accompanied his father to work when he was attacked. In the video, the child is seen walking alone. Soon after, three dogs come charging towards the child and surround him. The terrified boy tries to run, but the dogs close in and push him to the ground. They then start pulling at his clothes as the child struggles to break free. Every time he tries to get up, the dogs attack him and bring him down. Soon, they completely overpower him and bit him all over. Three smaller dogs appear and are seen looking on as the big dogs keep biting the child and drag him to a corner. The child, it appears from the visuals, died on the spot.

No complaint has been filed by the family, police said.

Telangana's Municipal Administration Minister KT Rama Rao said he was "very pained" by the incident. "Sincere condolences to the family. Very pained by what happened. Will do everything in our capacity to ensure this does not repeat,'' he said.
