In an unfortunate incident on a superfast train, a 78-year-old retired officer, HK Karan, suffered a rat bite to his nose while asleep on a city-bound train in Madhya Pradesh. The event unfolded on train No. 19308, connecting Una in Himachal Pradesh to Indore city. Prior to the journey, Karan's son had alerted railway staff about the presence of a rodent in the First AC coach.
Despite this warning, the railway staff reportedly failed to take immediate pest control measures. Upon arrival at the destination station, the victim and his family immediately sought medical attention at Kokilaben Hospital, where Karan received the first dose of the rabies prevention injection. The family reported that a rat was spotted in the coach shortly after departure from Chandigarh, and they lodged a complaint with the railway staff immediately after the bite occurred at around 10:30 pm.
It is believed that the rat may have entered the train during stops at various railway stations along the journey.
