An 8-year-old boy died after being attacked by a pack of stray dogs in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly, officials said today.
The incident took place in Nandosi village under Ceebeeganj police station when the boy was going to a temple on Tuesday.
On hearing the shrieks of the boy, people rushed towards him and chased away the canines, but the severely injured child died at a private nursing home shortly after.
