Mashrafe later said that his injuries were not serious, he was taking his child for the regular vaccination dosage.

"There are no fractures. Hope there is no danger now," he said.

Mashrafe took the rickshaw because his kid had to be given a regular vaccination. Taking rickshaw is common for Dhaka dwellers.
