He was first taken to Rajbari Sadar Hospital, where he received primary treatment before being referred to the medical college hospital in Faridpur for better treatment.
Liton, son of Abul Hashem of Banibaha, said he was travelling by auto-rickshaw to the town’s Boro Bazar after completing some work related to a court case.
