The health condition of popular comedian Abu Hena Rony, who suffered burn injuries in gas balloon blasts in Gazipur, is now somewhat stable.
Dr SM Ayub Hossain, the resident surgeon of Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery in capital Dhaka, confirmed the matter to Jago News on Saturday evening.
He said, "Abu Hena Rony is currently in somewhat stable condition. Around 25% of his body, including the trachea, was burnt and he is now kept at the High Dependency Unit (HDU)."
"However, it cannot be said that he is out of danger. It will be possible to report the progress about him after 72 hours," Dr Ayub said.
Abu Hena Rony and four others were injured after some gas balloons exploded during the anniversary ceremony of Gazipur Metropolitan Police (GMP) in Gazipur on Friday.
They were rushed to Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital, Gazipur, and later, referred to Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery.
The four other injured are Mosharraf Hossain, Zillur Rahman, Imran Hossain, and Rubel Hossain.
However, a four-member committee was formed to look into the incident. GMP DC (Crime-North) Abu Torab Mohammad Shamsur Rahman was made chief of the probe body.
