| In an appalling repeat of the Chandra Layout incident where a little girl was fatally attacked by a pack of feral dogs, five-year-old Manjunath was mauled to death by 15 dogs near his home at BEML Quarters in C.V. Raman Nagar Wednesday evening. He died of injuries later at Manipal Hospital.
This is the second such incident in the city in as many months after eight-year-old Sridevi died on January 5.
"Four of us were playing hide-and-seek in the evening. All of us hid elsewhere but Manju came here to hide," five-year-old Srivatsa told The Hindu , pointing to the vacant land behind the BEML Quarters.
Srivatsa's father V. Ramu was the first to see the attack. "I was doing gardening when I noticed a pack of dogs fighting over something. When I saw what it was, I called my neighbour M.G. Loni and we tried scaring the dogs with stones but in vain. After we beat them with a stick, the dogs left the child alone," Mr. Ramu said.
Manjunath was so bloodied that only his playmate Srivatsa could recognise him. "I saw one of Manju's slippers lying near him. That's how I came to know it was him," said Srivatsa.
