Government Titumir College student Rajib Hasan who got his right arm lost being pressed between two buses in the capital has been kept on life support at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
Rajib was put on life support around 4:00am as his condition deteriorated, Professor Dr Mohammad Shamsuzzam Shahin, head of the DMCH Orthopedic Department and the chief of a 7-member medical board, said on Tuesday.
Earlier, Rajib Hasan, a 2nd year student of the Govt Titumir College, was going to attend his classes by a double-decker bus of Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BTRC) on Tuesday last.
He was standing on the rear gate dangling his right hand outside as the bus was overcrowded, reports UNB.
When the bus got stranded at the Sonargaon crossing near Panthakunja park, a 'Sajan Paribahan' bus tried to make its way through the narrow space on between the BRTC bus and the footpath.
However, Rajib's right hand was pressed in between the two buses and got severed from the elbow.
Being rescued, the victim was taken to the city’s MH Samorita Hospital. Later, he was shifted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the DMCH.
