The statement read, “After pack-up, Rajesh was talking to local technicians in an area surrounded by dense vegetation when he felt an insect bite. Since it did not appear serious at the time, he did not seek immediate medical attention and continued as usual.”
It further added, “About six hours later, he began experiencing severe pain in his right leg and developed swelling. Despite his worsening condition, he boarded a flight back to Kolkata. During the journey, he developed a high fever, became increasingly restless, and his health deteriorated further.”
Notably, Rajesh Sharma is currently admitted to a hospital in Dhakuria, West Bengal, where he remains under doctors’ observation. An official update on his condition is expected tomorrow after the hospital releases a medical statement.
She also thanked those who had extended support, including the media, the Bengal Motion Pictures Artists’ Forum, Sharma’s friends and well-wishers, and “above all, Shri Prosenjit Chatterjee”
