A two-and-a-half-year-old boy from Kalyan endured a series of distressing events after being bitten by his pet dog on Sunday. What began with the dog bite and multiple anti-rabies injections took a more serious turn when a syringe needle allegedly broke during one of the injections and became lodged inside his body.
The incident was compounded, his family says, by the hospital staff allegedly refusing to acknowledge what had happened, leaving the child in severe pain for hours before he underwent surgery at another facility to remove the needle.
Kavesh, a resident of Kalyan East, was accidentally bitten by his pet dog while playing. His parents, Suryabhan and Kajal, subsequently took him to Rukminibai Hospital, operated by the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation.
According to Kajal, doctors advised anti-rabies treatment, following which a nurse administered three injections, two in the arms and one in the thigh, and marked an area near the boy's hip for another injection.
