A 4-year-old boy from India was eaten alive by feral pigs after he was playing outside during the coronavirus lockdown.

The police found 4-year-old V Harshavardan’s dead body at a rubbish dump.

The police in Hyderabad, India, found the partially eaten body of the kid after the hogs dragged him away from his house.

They were still trying to identify his body when the parents of the kid arrived at the scene.

Investigating officers believe that the kid was kidnapped by the herd of the feral herd after playing near his home in Siadabad, Hyderabad.

K Srinivas, a local police officer, said:

A pack of pigs were loitering around the garbage dump and attacked the child on spotting him. The animals partially ate the body of the boy.

He was declared dead on arrival at a hospital near the house.

His body was transferred to a government building for autopsy.

It is believed that people in the area have made multiple complaints about the feral pigs roaming the area, however, no one showed up to help them get rid of them.

4-year-old Harshavardhan was living in a hut with his 2 parents.

The parents of the little boy are homeless due to the novel coronavirus lockdown.
