The 26-year-old youth cannot utter any word, receive any message, even recognise anybody. He only stares at something, lying in his reading room.
A terrible road accident left the ill-fated man, Mojahidul Islam Sumon, a resident of Purbo Alipur and a student of City College in Faridpur, senseless since for the last nine months.
A vehicle hit the youth from behind when he was cycling at TTC area of Faridpur town on October 8 last year, family sources said.
Finding Sumon senseless on the road, locals admitted him to Faridpur Medical College Hospital (FMCH).
Informed by police, Sumon's father Abdul Hannan and mother Alyea Begum rushed to FMCH and later shifted him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
Following a CT scan test that showed serious brain haemorrhage, Sumon underwent a neurosurgery as per suggestion by Dr Asif Barkatullah, said Abdul Hannan, who earns by private tuition.
Later Sumon remained under the treatment of Dr Deen Mohammad of DMCH for four months and was released from the hospital on February 10 this year. But he is yet to regain his sense.
"I have spent all my savings and sold belongings for treatment of my dearest son. It needs Tk 400 daily to buy medicine which I can no longer manage," said a tearful Hannan.
"Baba Sumon, please talk to me, look at me, here I am, your mother," Sumon's mother frequently utters before him but the only response she receives is blank look.
Sumon might regain his sense if he gets proper treatment that costs a huge amount of money, Sumon's father quoted doctors as saying.
He has asked for financial help to the solvent people.
If anybody wants to help Sumon, he can contribute to Mudaraba savings account No 10806, Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd Faridpur Branch, or S/A No 5054, Janata Bank Ltd, Station Road, Faridpur branch. Sumon's father can be contacted on cell phone No 01718985670.
