A man died after being bitten by a Russell's Viper in Kushtia.

He was rushed to the Kushtia General Hospital this morning (28 May), where he breathed his last.

The deceased, Kamruzzaman Pramanik, 50, a farmer from Jagannathpur union in Kumarkhali, was clearing a banana grove around 11am when he was bitten by a Russell's viper, his nephew said.

Kamruzzaman managed to kill the snake immediately, but succumbed to the venom 30 minutes after arriving at the hospital.

1 more dead from bite by unidentified snake

On the same day, another man also died of a snakebite at the same hospital.

Kalu Halsana, 35, son of the late Naharul Islam from Gabargara village in Daulatpur union, was brought to the hospital with a snakebite, but he, too, passed away soon after.

Residential Medical Officer (RMO) Dr Hossain Imam told The Business Standard that both victims passed away while undergoing treatment at Kushtia General Hospital. 

"One of the deaths was caused by a bite from a Russell's viper. However, the species of snake responsible for another death could not be confirmed," he added.

Kalu was reportedly picking mangoes near a garden adjacent to his home around 5am when he was bitten by a snake.
