Wagh Bakri Tea Group scion Parag Desai dies post dog attack near Ahmedabad residence
By Online Desk
Wagh Bakri Tea Group executive director Parag Desai passed away on Monday, the company announced on social media. “With profound grief, we regret to inform the sad demise of our beloved Parag Desai,” the company said in an Instagram post.
On October 15, when Desai was trying to fend off street dogs during his morning walk near his residence in Ahmedabad, he slipped and fell, sustaining severe injuries.
Media reports said he was taken to Shelby Hospital first and then was moved to Zydus Hospital for surgery where he is believed to have died on Sunday.
Desai was the son of Rasesh Desai, Managing Director of the Wagh Bakri Tea Group, which is reportedly India’s third-largest packaged tea brand. The company was founded by Narandas Desai (he used to own tea gardens in South Africa) in 1892.
He is survived by his wife Vidisha and daughter Parisha.
Desai, an MBA-holder from Long Island University, USA, was heading the sales, marketing and export departments for the Wagh Bakri Tea Group. The company’s website described Desai as “an expert tea taster and evaluator”.
Gujarat Congress chief Shaktisinh Gohil tweeted his condolences. “Very sad news coming in. Parag Desai, Director and owner Wagh Bakri Tea passed away. He had a brain haemorrhage following a fall. May his soul rest in peace. My condolences to the entire Wagh Bakri family across India.”

Woman critical after pit bull attack in Gurugram; owners booked
By PTI
GURUGRAM: A pit bull mauled a young woman, leaving her with serious injuries mainly on her head and face in Civil Lines area here on Thursday, police said.
An FIR has been registered against the dog owners following a complaint by one of the victim’s relatives, they said.
Victim Munni, around 30 years old, works as a domestic help at a few houses in the locality.
At around 7.30 am, she was walking near the public works department office when one Vinit Chikara got his pit bull on to the street for a walk.
As Chikara left the dog’s harness loose, it knocked Munni down and bit her all over her body.
She mainly received critical injuries on her head and face.
Locals rushed to the spot and rescued her, but she is battling for life at the hospital, the complainant said.
Vinit Chikara’s wife Neetu Chikara has also been booked under the Indian Penal Code at the Civil Lines police station.
“We are investigating the matter and action will be taken according to law,” Assistant Commissioner of Police (crime) Preet Pal Singh Sangwan said.
