The deceased was identified as Shaon Shikder, a resident of the village.
According to locals, Shaon was playing games on his mobile phone near his house.

After the bite, his family first took him to two local traditional healers for treatment.
As his condition deteriorated, he was taken to a hospital around 11pm, but doctors declared him dead upon arrival.
