The father of the victim, two-year-old Kaleem Ullah, had narrated the entire incident saying that a stray dog attacked his child a day back, causing severe injuries on his face. A passerby had also sustained wounds in the incident after he tried to rescue the child.
It is pertinent to mention here that several dog-bite incidents have been reported in the province especially in parts of Karachi and Larkana, however, the authorities seemed least interested in tackling the issue despite claims of launching a campaign to sterilize the stray dogs.
The dog-bite incidents have not only claimed the lives of children in the province but have also caused severe injuries to many of them.
