A seven-year-old girl named Jyoti Karmakar died after being bitten by a venomous snake in the Powel area of Jhilim Union, Sadar Upazila, Chapainawabganj. The incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon, and the child was brought to the Chapainawabganj District Hospital, where doctors declared her dead on arrival. The hospital’s physician, Abdul Kader, confirmed the death and said the child was already deceased when brought in.
According to local accounts cited by the doctor, the child was taken to the hospital several hours after being bitten. Residents alleged that instead of seeking immediate medical care, the family first took the child to a local healer for traditional treatment, which may have delayed proper medical attention. The delay reportedly contributed to the fatal outcome.
The incident highlights ongoing concerns about reliance on traditional healing practices in rural areas and the need for timely medical intervention in snakebite cases.
