Mohammad Shabab was planning to buy new clothes for his children for Eid on Thursday. But since Wednesday evening, he has been in the hospital. A short walk from their shop to the house on Wednesday afternoon turned fatal for his kids – daughter Jannat Fatima (5) and son Mohammad Raza (7) – after a pack of stray dogs mauled them in Lucknow’s Musahabganj area.
“One of my kids is gone, and the other is struggling for her life in the hospital,” said 36-year-old Shabab, who works as a daily wage labourer.
According to the father, the children were playing with him at the cosmetics shop run by his wife. “Around 3 pm, we told our kids to go home. The shop is just 500 metres away from our house. While on the way back, they stopped at the primary government school, where they were mauled by the dogs,” he said, adding that neighbours spotted his kids being dragged by dogs inside the school and raised an alarm. “They had injuries all over their bodies. The neck was brutally injured and blood was everywhere,” said Shabab.
