A 27-year-old resident of Bhopal, identified as Ravdeep Singh, was injured on a scooter when he attempted to evade a stray dog on a busy road in the Avadhpuri neighbourhood. The sudden maneuver caused him to lose control and fall, resulting in multiple fractures and internal injuries.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors performed emergency surgery and placed him under intensive care. Despite stabilising his condition initially, his health deteriorated over the next weeks, and he succumbed to complications on the 20th day of treatment.

City officials have promised to review existing policies and accelerate efforts to manage the stray‑dog problem to prevent similar tragedies.
Police have recorded the case as an accidental death, and a formal report is being prepared. Meanwhile, community groups are urging the municipal corporation to implement humane yet effective strategies for stray‑dog management.
