The incident took place in front of the minister’s residence at Minto Road in Dhaka on Thursday morning, the Social Welfare Ministry said in a statement.
Doctors at Square Hospital where he has been admitted have suggested a surgery.
“He will undergo the surgery within two to three days and sought blessings from everyone for his recovery.”
Prior to his latest assignment, Menon served the government as aviation and tourism minister. A major shuffle in the cabinet sent him to the Social Welfare Ministry this year.
