<i>Expired injection takes infant's life </i>
An infant died minutes after he was allegedly injected with an expired medicine at Khulna Shishu Hospital on Thursday.
Nine-month-old Shuvendu Dey, only son of Rabin Dey of Daulatpur, was admitted to the hospital on September 13 with intestinal disorder, cough, cold and high fever.
A female nurse of the hospital pushed the expired injection into the infant Thursday morning, alleged his parents.
A four-member committee headed by the hospital Secretary General Sheikh Abdul Kayyum was formed to probe into the reason behind the death, said Dr Kamruzzaman, the hospital superintendent.
They will also investigate into the circumstances that led to vandalism of some hospital properties later that day, he added.
Meanwhile Thursday night, victim's uncle Ramesh Dey filed a case with Khulna Police Station accusing three duty physicians including Dr Kamruzzaman, Dr Anwarul Azim and Dr Moniruzzaman for their negligence in this connection.
