The deceased boy's father, Premanand Kalangutkar, described the pitbull attacking his son, tearing at his face and crushing his throat. He added that the same pitbull had earlier attacked another child, who fortunately survived.
The dog forcefully hurled her to the ground, resulting in substantial injuries. People tried to help her and repeatedly struck the dog with sticks in an attempt to ward it off. After a strenuous 20 minutes, the gathered crowd managed to free the woman from the dog's grip, rushing her to the hospital.
