10 days after being bitten by a dog, 47-year-old Gurdial Singh, began to display uncharacteristically aggressive behavior and was taken to Civil Hospital in Ludhiana, India. According to hospital staff, Gurdial was agitated and bit a 25 year old patient lying in the bed next to him.
The patient was referred to Rajindra Hospital in Patiala for further treatment as Civil Hospital does not have a dedicated rabies ward.
