Saripalli Venkateswara Rao, a 55-year-old Indian, has died. Rao was watching a cockfight on January 17, 2020, in the village of Pragadabaram, Andhra Pradesh, where 'roosters with razor blades tied to their feet fight each other.' However, a roaring rooster escaped from the arena and attacked Rao's abdomen in the auditorium multiple times with a razor. She was transported to the hospital, where she was confirmed dead on arrival at the hospital due to abdominal bleeding.

In India, cockfighting is illegal under both the Animal Abuse Prevention Act enacted in 1960 and the Gambling Prohibition Act enacted in Andhra Pradesh in 1974. However, cockfighting is still a popular event for one of the traditional Hindu festivals, Makar Sankranti .

Roosters used for cockfighting are powerful chickens that can be fed not only protein-rich meals such as almonds and cashew nuts but also steroids to improve their physique. Such roosters are tied with razor blades in their limbs and fight until they win or lose in the ring. The wins and losses are subject to gambling, and there are even cases involving senior local politicians. Therefore, police also tend to 'gaze' and the total stakes are estimated to reach one billion rupees each year.
