A ninth-grade student named Rafsan Sheikh, aged 16, died after being bitten by a venomous snake in Amritnagar village of Gunbaha Union, Boalmari upazila, Faridpur, on Saturday night, June 27, 2026. He was taken to Faridpur Medical College Hospital after his condition worsened, where he died early Sunday while under treatment. The incident has cast grief over his family, classmates, and the local community.
According to family and local sources, Rafsan was bitten by the snake while returning indoors after washing his hands and feet outside. Instead of taking him to a hospital immediately, his family first took him to two traditional healers in nearby areas, where several hours were lost. Health officials later confirmed that the delay critically worsened his condition. Boalmari Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer Dr. Nazmul Hasan stated that the local hospital had 45 antivenom doses in stock but the patient arrived too late for effective treatment.
Dr. Hasan urged the public to avoid wasting time with traditional methods and to seek hospital care immediately after any snakebite.
