    Patna (The Hawk): On Wednesday, a woman in the Begusarai district of Bihar was killed by a pack of stray "maneater" dogs, which sparked fear throughout the area.

    Mira Devi, 53, the wife of Raj Kumar Sharma, a local of Begusarai's ward number 11 of Bachwara police station, was identified as the deceased.

    According to her husband, she went to a farm to take care of the crops and was on her way home when she was attacked by a pack of 15 stray dogs.

    Even her flesh was eaten by the dogs because her hands and legs lacked flesh.

    "We went there when she didn't come home and discovered a group of stray dogs lying on a dead body. I sounded the alarm, and the villagers quickly gathered there in great numbers. The dogs were chased out of the area by us. But my wife had already passed away and her body had been discovered in terrible shape "explained Sharma.

    A group of stray dogs in the area has killed at least one person and injured 17 others in the past year.
