Kabaddi player dies after dog bite
A 22-year-old State-level kabaddi player died after allegedly failing to take an anti-rabies vaccine following a dog bite incident, his kin said.
Brijesh, a resident of Farana village here, was bitten by a puppy two months ago while rescuing it from a drain.
On Wednesday, his family claimed he never took the anti-rabies shots.
On June 28, Brijesh's health deteriorated, and he died despite the attempts made to get him treated. He was the youngest of three brothers.
"He didn't think it was serious and didn't get vaccinated. Later, a private hospital in Aligarh confirmed he had been bitten by a rabid animal, likely a monkey or dog." his brother Sandeep said.
Brijesh was training in the village at the time of the incident.
Following his death, the health department administered anti-rabies vaccines to 29 people in Farana village as a precautionary measure, according to officials.
