A Special Metropolitan Magistrate of DMP on Thursday sent three youths to two months of rigorous jail for physically assaulting two intern doctors at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) the previous night.
Md Shakib Hossain, 25, Md Shahriar Nazim, 21, and Imtiaz Ahammad, 25, were sentenced to two months in jail, confirmed Muhammad Talebur Rahman, deputy commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.
According to Talebur Rahman, on Wednesday night some people admitted Lucky Begum, 35, to DMCH in critical conditions. Around 11pm, the on-duty doctors declared her dead.
Hearing this, Lucky Begum’s son, Rakib, accused the doctors of negligence in treating the patient.
Later, Rakib’s frieng, Shakib Hossain, phoned 20-30 youths, urging them to come to the hospital.
On arrival, the group misbehaved with the hospital staff, and at one point beat up two intern doctors, prompting the entire group of intern doctors to suspend services for three hours in protest against the assault.
Security personnel later managed to apprehend three of the culprits, while the others managed to flee.
