His father, who works as a security guard at a car service centre, said, “I had taken my son and daughter, 6, to my workplace. After some time my daughter came and told me that street dogs had attacked my son. I rushed to the spot, put my bleeding son on my shoulders and took him to the hospital, but no use. I wish no one faces such a situation,” he said. Telangana minister K T Rama Rao and GHMC mayor Gadwal Vijayalakshmi said the authorities will do their best to ensure such incidents do not recur.
