30-Year-Old Bank Employee Dies by Suicide in Kalyan After Fear of Rabies
Mumbai: A 30-year-old bank employee from Kalyan East in Maharashtra died by suicide on Sunday, reportedly driven by an intense fear of contracting rabies after being bitten by a stray dog.
The deceased, identified as Ayas Vishwanath Amin, lived with his family in the Tisgaon Naka area of Kalyan East. He had been working at a bank branch in Thane for the past eight years.
According to reports, Ayas was bitten by a stray dog a few days before the incident. He had begun the anti-rabies vaccination process and had taken at least one injection. However, his family noticed significant changes in his behaviour soon after.

A suicide note recovered from the scene allegedly mentioned his fear of rabies as the reason behind his decision.
