While on April 24, in Pisangan, Ajmer, dogs severely mauled a one-and-a-half-month-old infant. The dogs tore open the baby's abdomen, causing his intestines to spill out. The infant had been on a ventilator at JLN Hospital for four days following the attack but succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment. This infant, too, had been sleeping inside a hut when the dogs barged in and attacked him.
