The incident occurred in tourist town Mandu, around 38km from Dhar district headquarters, on Saturday when Das, a resident of Vadodara, was on a visit to Mandu with his wife Sushmita Das (60). His wife was bitten on her leg by a stray dog. The couple reached Mandu Primary Health Centre for anti-rabies shot.

After intervention of others, the injection was eventually administered to Sushmita at the Mandu health centre.
This incident soon went viral on social media. Taking cognizance of it, Dhar collector Priyank Mishra ordered an inquiry by a team from Indore. Based on the preliminary findings, Dr Dabrolia was found guilty and suspended by the health department.
Mishra said the doctor's behaviour was inappropriate and her actions unacceptable, leading to her suspension based on the initial probe.
