AKM Latiful Bari, station officer at Rajshahi Sadar Fire Station, said they received an emergency call at around 11:07am.
"The rescue operation was disrupted as there was a main power transmission line. The crow's wings and legs caught in the torn thread of kites," he also said.
The crow was exhausted for being stranded on the tree for a long time, he added.
