A group of students from Suhrawardy medical college yesterday blockaded the Mirpur Road demanding immediate trace of a missing trainee doctor.
They kept the busy road in front of the college campus blocked for one and a half hours from 12 noon. A long traffic tailback was created on the adjacent roads during the blockade. Later they moved away from the road after getting assurance from the administration.
Tejgaon zone Deputy Commissioner of police Biplob Kumar Sarker last night said they had recovered the doctor from a place in the capital.
One of the protesters said some unidentified people kidnapped Dr Shamim Khan Topu from in front of the college’s hospital on Friday. The kidnappers came on a microbus and picked Topu up.
On Friday, the students filed a written complaint about Topu’s disappearance with the police station. However, Topu’s friends and classmates could not say for certain why he had been kidnapped.
GG Bishwas, officer in-charge of the Sher-e-Bangla Nagar police station, said that they had taken necessary steps to rescue the trainee doctor.
