BSMMU doctor assaulted
A Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) doctor had to be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) yesterday after being severely beaten by a pickup van driver of the hospital.
The driver, Alamgir Majhi, 27, bumped into the victim, Dr Sadik Enam, 34, medical officer of the ICU, while reversing the vehicle near BSMMU's Block C entrance, said an anonymity seeking security guard posted there.
A heated debate followed, at one point of which the doctor slapped Alamgir. The driver instantly brought out a stick and started hitting Dr Sadik. BSMMU staff and some visitors rescued and admitted the unconscious doctor to the ICU, added the guard.
Dr Md Selim Moral Rabby, a consultant at the ICU, said Dr Sadik is now conscious but not out of danger.
“We expect fair judgment as assured by the BSMMU authority,” he said.
BSMMU Director Brig Gen Abdul Majid Bhuiyan said Alamgir was suspended after BSMMU authorities found him guilty in preliminary investigation and handed him over to the police.
“A three member probe committee formed to investigate the matter will submit a report within three working days,” he said.
Officer-in-Charge of Shahbag Police Station, Sirajul Islam, said no case had been filed in this regard till 5:00pm.
