AHMEDABAD: The rising problem of stray cattle and dogs on urban streets has led to another tragic incident, as businessman Parag Desai, Wagh Bakri Group’s Executive Director, lost his life on October 22 due to an accident involving street dogs.

On October 15, Parag Desai, the 50-year-old executive director at Gujarat Tea Processors and Packers Limited, was reportedly attempting to fend off aggressive street dogs outside his home during a morning walk when he slipped and fell.

A security guard on duty quickly alerted his family and Parag Desai was rushed to Shelby Hospital. He was later transferred to Zydus Hospital for a surgical procedure for brain haemorrhage. Regrettably, on October 22, he succumbed to his injuries during treatment.
