A 52-year-old woman named Kalpana Rani Mallik died after being bitten by a venomous snake in Shrikola village of Kaliganj upazila, Satkhira, late Monday night. She was the wife of Shree Nirod Kumar Mallik. The incident occurred around 1 a.m. when the snake bit her on the veranda of her house.

According to family and local sources, instead of being taken to a hospital immediately, she was first treated by local traditional healers using conventional methods. As her condition worsened, she was taken to Kaliganj Upazila Health Complex on Tuesday morning. The attending doctor referred her to Satkhira Medical College Hospital for advanced treatment, but she died on the way there.

Kaliganj Police Station Officer-in-Charge Jewel Hossain confirmed the death. The report highlights the fatal consequences of delayed medical intervention after snakebites in rural areas.
