Limon Hossain is on his way to Orthopaedic Hospital, also known as Pongu Hospital, at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in Dhaka.
The family of Limon, who was shot by Rapid Action Battalion members and later got his leg amputated, left Barisal Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital around 4:30pm on Tuesday.
He was freed from the hospital's prison cell on Monday, four days after the High Court granted bail.
He was being treated at the hospital's orthopaedic surgery department.
Limon's father Tofajjel Hossain told the news agency that he was being taken to Dhaka as his condition had worsened.
He said Limon's leg would be transplanted at Pongu Hospital following doctors' suggestion.
BSMCH director Abdur Rashid said there was not eno-ugh technology and medicine in the hospital to treat Limon.
'His family was also keen to take him to Dhaka,' he added.
A RAB team reportedly shot Limon, who used to work in a brick kiln, in the leg after taking him to a place adjacent to his house at Jamaddarhat in Rajapur upazila of Jhalakati on March 23, less than a fortnight before his Higher Secondary Certificate examinations were to begin.
