Wagh Bakri scion Parag Desai, 49, dies after attack by street dogs

As soon as the cause of Desai's death hit the headlines, social media platforms were flooded with posts highlighting the growing menace of stray dogs across the country.

Condoling the demise of 49-year-old businessman, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi said that Desai's death was avoidable. She called for a “pro-active policy” to handle the menace by establishing active shelters for stray animals and vaccinating them.

“We really need to have a pro active policy in place to handle the stray dog menace- active stray animal shelters especially dogs, neutering them, their vaccinations etc,” she said in a post on X.
