He was eventually taken to the health centre where he was posted. However, the doctor was rushed to the Silchar Medical College and Hospital due to his severe condition. He was admitted to the hospital for treatment.

The Barak Bulletin reports that the doctor's condition is now stable, and he is being treated in the hospital's Intensive Care Unit. According to sources, he was going through a lot of mental stress. 

The incident has shocked and saddened medical professionals, particularly the young, newly graduated doctors who are posted in remote areas as part of their rural posting. After completing their graduation, all doctors must compulsorily provide one year of rural service after completing their MBBS.
