A 48-year-old man was mauled to death by a pack of stray dogs on Friday when he was irrigating fields at Kang Sahibu village falling under the Nakodar Sadar police station. Investigating officer (IO) Janak Raj said Jagtar Ram, a resident of Hamiri Kherra village falling under the Jamsher Sadar police station, was irrigating fields of the maize crop at Kang Sahibu village on Friday morning when a pack of stray dogs from a nearby “hadda rori” (dumping site for animal carcass) mauled him to death.

Soni, wife of the deceased, told the police that her husband had been working for a farmer Amarjit Singh, a resident of Meerapur village, for the past four years. She said Amarjit Singh took her husband to Kang Sahibu village to irrigate his maize crop fields.
