On 20 May 2011, at around 5 pm, while he was walking down the stairs, a cement shed of 12 feet fell on his head. At that time, he had worn a helmet as he was about to travel on a motorcycle. The helmet broke into pieces, but his head was saved from injury. However, he had a severe spinal cord injury. He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital.
