In a heart-wrenching event, a 14-year-old boy named Shahvaz passed away from rabies on Monday, concealing the dog bite incident from his parents for over a month due to fear. Shahvaz had been bitten by a stray dog in his Charan Singh Colony neighborhood, located under the jurisdiction of the Vijay Nagar police station in Ghaziabad, approximately one and a half months ago.

00:00 In a heart-wrenching incident, a 14-year-old boy identified as Shahbaz and a resident
00:18 of Chanan Singh colony in Ghaziabad succumbed to rabies after being bitten by a neighbour's
00:22 dog approximately two months ago.
00:25 The Ghaziabad police confirmed the unfortunate incident on Tuesday, revealing that the boy
00:29 had chosen not to disclose the incident to his family.
00:33 Due to the boy's decision to conceal the dog bite, he was not given prompt medical
00:38 attention allowing the infection to advance.
00:40 Eventually, symptoms of rabies began to manifest, prompting the family to rush him to hospital
00:45 for treatment.
00:46 A case has been registered by the police based on the complaint filed by the family.
00:52 A video clip purportedly showing the boy writhing in pain inside an ambulance circulated on
00:56 social media, amplifying the tragedy.
00:59 The footage depicts his father attempting to console him during his distressed time.
01:05 In broader context, the incident underscores the importance of responsible pet ownership
01:09 and adhering to regulations for the welfare of both pets and the community.
01:14 In Uttar Pradesh, particularly in cities like Ghaziabad and Noida, the requirement for veterinary
01:18 health certificates for pets suffering from diseases or health issues has been emphasised
01:24 upon.
01:25 Pet owners registered on the Noida Authority PET or Pet Registration App are entitled to
01:32 receive free rabies vaccinations for the animals, prompting the health and safety of pets and
01:37 residents alive.
01:39 In the wake of this tragedy, the Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation issued a notice to the
01:42 woman who owned the dog responsible for the bite.
01:45 The civic body demanded information about whether the dogs were registered and vaccinated
01:50 as per the mandates of the Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation, which requires all pet dogs to
01:55 be registered and vaccinated.
01:57 The woman has been given a three-day ultimatum to provide the necessary registration details
02:01 for the dogs.
02:02 Failure to comply will result in a fine of Rs 5,000.
