The attack occurred on Kondapur Road, a busy area connecting Rampura to nearby villages and the Andhra Pradesh border. However, due to heavy rain that day, the road was less crowded than usual. No one was present when the dogs attacked Mithun, leaving him helpless.
The tragic incident has shaken the village, with parents now afraid to send their children outdoors. The once-lively streets of Rampur have fallen silent, mourning the loss of a boy who was full of life and joy.

Residents of Rampura have expressed frustration over the increasing number of stray dogs in the area. Several children have been injured in dog attacks over the past couple of years, with four or five such cases reported recently. Last month, two boys were bitten by monkeys, further heightening concerns over the lack of control over stray animals. Despite repeated complaints to the Gram Panchayat to address the stray dog menace, no effective action has been taken, according to locals.
Rampur police have registered a case and are conducting further investigations into the incident.
