Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The city has been grappling with the stray dog menace for a number of years now with the 350 people falling prey to dog bites per day on an average. But now, this menace has taken a turn for the worse with stray dogs claiming the life of a city resident.
This heartbreaking event took place near GNT Market under the jurisdiction of the Chandan Nagar police station. The incident not only extinguished a life but also plunged a family of five into deep despair, as the 45-year-old man was the sole breadwinner, supporting his two minor daughters, a minor son, wife and mother since the passing of his father from a heart attack 20 years ago.
Yashwant Sisodiya, a resident of Ramanand Nagar lost his life after meeting with a road accident that occurred while he was trying to evade street dogs on his way back home from the gym in Sudama Nagar. The incident occurred on October 15 around 7:30 am when he was riding his motorcycle near GNT Market under Chandan Nagar police station limits and four to five stray dogs began chasing his vehicle.
In an attempt to avoid them, he collided with a loading vehicle, causing severe injuries. He also sustained a spinal fracture, causing paralysis. Locals rushed him to MY Hospital from where he was taken to a private hospital but his condition showed no improvement and succumbed to his injuries after struggling for 10 days on Thursday afternoon.
