He has been undergoing treatment at C MC Hospital in Madras, India for seven months, says a press release.

According to doctors at CMC Hospital, around Tk 25,00000 (Twenty-five lakh taka) is needed for his treatment.

Afzal's father Md Idris Ali, a retried employee and the only earning member of a seven-member family, is not in a position to manage such a huge amount of money.

He has therefore appealed to generous people to extend a helping hand to save his son.
