In a shocking turn of events, a state-level kabaddi player has died of suspected rabies in Bulandshahr nearly two months after he rescued a stray puppy from a drain and suffered a minor bite.
According to Times of India report, 22-year-old Brijesh Solanki, who won a gold medal in state championships and was an aspirant for the Pro Kabaddi League, had not taken an anti-rabies vaccine, and symptoms appeared only days before his death.
