Hearing the news of Munna’s injury from an unknown mobile number, Rajib rushed to the hospital. But it took a long time to reach the hospital due to the road blockade.

Rajib entered into the hospital from backside gate where he saw a number of bodies lying on the ground. Rajib was searching whether his brother was there.

Being failed to trace his brother Rajib moved to emergency ward and found his brother with critical bullet injuries.

Duty doctors informed him that Munna had a lot of bleeding needed at least three bags of blood urgently.
