A heart-wrenching incident unfolded in Delhi's Dwarka Sector 19, where an elderly man was fatally attacked by a group of stray dogs. The man, identified as Raju, was reportedly chased and mauled by the dogs near a park, an event that sparked shock and concern across the area.
The tragic episode happened late Tuesday night when Raju, a 60-year-old daily-wage laborer, encountered the dogs on the road. In a desperate attempt to escape, he leaped into a park, but the dogs overwhelmed him, leaving him severely injured.
