According to local sources, Faisal climbed a mango tree to hang the Brazilian flag on the occasion of the World Cup. A high-voltage power line passed over the tree. While installing the flag, the stainless steel pipe in his hand suddenly came into contact with the power line and he was electrocuted.
Eyewitnesses said that he fell down from the tree immediately after the incident. Later, he was quickly taken to Manikganj General Hospital, where the doctor declared him dead.

The tragic death of a young football lover has cast a shadow of grief over the area.
