He took first aid from Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
The victim told the media that he went to the canteen on Thursday night after receiving a complaint from students that low-quality food was being provided but the canteen manager was charging high prices.
Over this, he asked the canteen manager to close for some time and to reopen after discussing with the administration, he said.

Contacted, Prof Mohammad Yusuf, principal of Dhaka College, told the media, “We were informed of the matter. We will look into to find out what exactly happened.”
