Man Dies After Dog Chase in Warangal
A young man named Adepu Shiva Kumar was coming home from work when some street dogs started chasing him.
He tried to get away by riding his bike fast, but he lost control and fell into a big drain.
Sadly, he died because of this.
A few days before, another dog that had rabies bit four people in a nearby village.
The people in the village are upset because they think the government should do more to keep them safe from these dogs.
A 24-year-old man died after being chased by street dogs and falling into a drainage canal in Warangal district.
The incident occurred in Machchapur, Geesukonda mandal, while the victim was returning home from work.
Two days prior, a rabid dog attacked and injured four villagers in Yellandu village, the same mandal.
The injured villagers were taken to Wardhannapet Government Hospital and then referred to MGM Hospital in Warangal.
Villagers have expressed frustration over the lack of effective measures to control aggressive stray dogs in the area.
