Further investigation led us to a news report that states that 27 people were injured within 3 hours after being bitten by a rabid dog in the Khanpur area in November.
Another article by Pak TV, featuring the above image, also talked about the attack and the lack of effort from the authorities to prevent such attacks.
NewsMobile couldn’t independently verify the origin of the picture, however, the above information proves that the viral picture is NOT from India.
