Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BMDC) has temporary cancelled the registration of a doctor of Sikder Medical Collage and Hospital on charge of assaulting a special correspondent of Prothom Alo.
BMDC Registrar Dr ZH Boshunia confirmed about the decision to the Dhaka Tribune on Thursday, three days after the Executive Committee of BMDC took the decision on Monday.
BMDC and Health Ministry had formed separate committees to investigate the incident.
On May 13, Shishir Morol went to ZA Sikder Women’s Medical College Hospital to investigate an allegation levelled against Dr Shafiul Azam.
But Shafiul and his associates assaulted him. They also confined him in a room for two and half hours and beat him up severely.
Shafiul, assistant professor at Chittagong Medical College Hospital, was working full-time at ZA Sikder Women’s Medical College Hospital without taking leave from CMCH.
