Reports from Uttar Pradesh highlight the fatal and medical complexities of rabies following dog bites in the region.

In Baghpat, a 35-year-old man named Anees died approximately three months after a dog bite that went untreated with anti-rabies vaccinations. His death caused concern in Laliyana village, prompting dozens of residents to seek precautionary injections at a local health centre.

In a separate case in Mirzapur, a 15-year-old boy named Karan survived the final stages of the disease after being bitten in December 2025. His condition was exacerbated by medical misinformation, as a facility employee incorrectly suggested a tetanus shot was sufficient in place of rabies vaccinations. After exhibiting severe symptoms such as hydrophobia, Karan underwent 22 days of specialized treatment in Varanasi and has since made a recovery that doctors described as an “extraordinary medical event.”
