Rony 'out of danger'

On September 16, Abu Hena Rony and four other policemen were severely burnt during a gas balloon explosion, at the anniversary celebration of Gazipur Metropolitan Police. The injured were initially taken to Gazipur Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital. 

Rony and Zillur Rahman, a policeman, were later sent to Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery, as the severity of their burn injuries was much higher.

On September 17, Dr Samanta Lal Sen—coordinator of Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery—informed The Daily Star that Rony had suffered 25 percent burns, while policeman Zillur Rahman had suffered 19 percent burns. They were both kept at the HDU after their wounds had been dressed.
