A medicine shop owner yesterday lodged a case with a Chittagong court against two physicians, demanding Tk1 crore as compensation for alleged wrong treatment.
The sued physicians were Chittagong Medical College Hospital Orthopedic Surgeon Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy and his son Dr Binimoy Chandra Roy, said court sources.
The trader, Shafiul Azam, lodged the case before the court of Metropolitan Magistrate Nur-E-Alam Bhuyian yesterday morning under sections 267, 270, 226, 418, 406 and 34 of Criminal Procedure Code, the sources said.
The court took the matter into cognisance and ordered Chittagong Metropolitan Police Detective Branch’s deputy commissioner to look into the matter.
Shafiul, owner of Azmir Medical Hall at Green Super Market on Hajaree Lane and Aroma Medical at Sugandha Residential Area of the city, said he went to Dr Bidhan in 2013 after he felt pain on his left leg. The doctor gave pain killers as initial treatment but when the medicines did not work, they pushed two steroid injections in his leg, he added.
“The two injections were supposed to be given in the bones but one was pushed in the muscle which caused infection,” he said adding that both the doctors later operated on him in August, 2013 but his left leg was paralysed due to wrong treatment.
