Digital Desk: The Kerala
State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (KSCPCR) investigated the death
of an 11-year-old boy in Kannur after he was mauled by stray dogs. The child
rights organisation stated that it will petition the Supreme Court for
authorization to kill the dangerous stray dogs.
The occurrence was
described as "tragic and heart-wrenching" by KV Manoj Kumar, Chairman
of the KSCPCR, and the commission would investigate whether there were any
errors on the part of the authorities. "We want to protect children, not
dogs." "Children and the general public should be protected," he
said.
Nihal, an 11-year-old special needs kid, died on June 11 after
being bitten by a pack of stray dogs outside his home in Muzhappilangad, near
Kannur, Kerala. He was critically injured and was transported to the hospital,
but he could not be rescued.
"The Commission will
do everything possible within its jurisdiction." A case has been filed at
this time. "The commission is looking into three more cases involving
children being attacked by dogs," Kumar added.
The Kerala State Human Rights Commission (KSHRC) has already interfered
in the case. According to a PTI report, both commissions opened their own
investigations into the incident and demanded a full report from the
Muzhappilangad grama panchayat within two weeks.
According to KV Manoj
Kumar, the child rights panel requested detailed reports from the Secretary of
Local Self Government, the Secretary of the District Panchayat, and the SHO of
the Edakkad Police within two weeks.
