Death of patient Dr Shimul gets bail
UNB, Rajshahi :
A court here on Sunday granted bail to Dr Samiul Haque Shimul in a case filed in connection with the death of a patient in his clinic.
Rajshahi Metropolitan Magistrate Sharmin Akhter granted the bail on a bond of Tk 20,000 when police produced him before the court in the afternoon.
On Thursday, Rajshahi Chief Metropolitan Magistrate sent Dr Samiul Haque Shimul to jail after rejecting his bail petition in a case filed in connection with the death of a patient in his clinic.
Later, medical services at public and private hospitals and clinics in the city came
to a halt as doctors had gone on an indefinite strike on Friday morning protesting the court order sending Shimu, also the owner of a clinic, to jail.
However, the physicians postponed their strike until Sunday as the administration assured them of realising the arrested physician.
Anwarul Haque Tipu, 35, son of Asgar Ali of Sheikhtola of Shibganj upazila, died at about 10:30 pm on Wednesday while he was undergoing treatment for a broken leg at Dolphin Clinic.
Outraged by his death, the patient’s relatives, aided by some locals, vandalised the clinic.
