Doctors at SMCH told his family to take him somewhere else for improved treatment as soon as possible. However, he died before being taken elsewhere.

Assam has the highest number of deaths contributing to road accidents in the Northeast. A recent survey found that only one in ten bikers in Cachar wear a helmet.

A few days ago, a student of Assam University died when her saree got attached to the wheel of the bike.
