Shariatpur representative:
A youth died of snake bite in Sakhipur of Vedarganj upazila of Shariatpur. It is said that he was bitten by a snake around 12:30 pm on Thursday.
The name of the dead youth is Imamul Bepari (32). He is the son of Razzak Bepari of Kandi village of Anu Sarkar in Sakhipur Union of Sakhipur Police Station. Imamul is the youngest among four brothers and three sisters.
According to local sources, Imamul returned home on Thursday night after a family event in the village. Due to intense heat in the house, he sat down in the air in front of the house at around 12:30 in the night. Then he was bitten by a poisonous snake. When he screamed, the people around came and saw the snake bite marks on his right leg. After tying his legs with a rope, he was first taken to Vedarganj Upazila Health Complex and sent to Shariatpur Sadar Hospital by the doctor on duty. As there was no antivenom injection at Sadar Hospital, Imamul’s relatives took him home. Later on Friday morning, he was taken to Chandpur Sadar Hospital where the doctor on duty declared him dead around 10 am.
The UP member of Ward No. 9 of Sakhipur Union Parishad confirmed the matter and said that the locals are in fear due to the emergence of snakes and insects in the hot summer. It is believed that Imamul died after being bitten by a poisonous snake.
Dr. Shariatpur district headquarters hospital supervisor. Habibur Rahman said, probably the antivenom injection has ended. I asked the person in charge to bring antivenom from the upazila hospital. I see it though.
