“He was going to the hospital for seeing a patient during the early hours. Usually, he traveled by his car. Sometimes he used his bike but always wore a helmet,” he wrote.

However, a few days back when he was rushing to the hospital, he was not wearing his helmet and met with an accident. He died while undergoing treatment.

“He met with a head injury near Chandanagar, received treatment including neurosurgery in a hospital for a few days, and ultimately succumbed the day before yesterday. May his soul rest in peace,” he added.

He further requested everyone to not ride their bikes without wearing a helmet and highlighted the necessity of wearing protective gear when riding. Several doctors and Twitter users conveyed their condolences to the late doctor’s family.
