A promising young doctor from Tripura lost his life in a devastating road accident in Haryana, sending shockwaves through the medical fraternity and his hometown community.

Dr. Bhowmik was pursuing his MD in Biochemistry at BPS Government Medical College and was reportedly just three months away from completing the course. His sudden demise has left family members, friends, and colleagues deeply saddened.
According to reports, the accident occurred while Dr. Bhowmik was returning to his residence after attending Holi celebrations with fellow students. He was riding pillion on a motorcycle driven by a recently married classmate from South India. The vehicle reportedly went out of control while they were travelling on a road near the campus area.
