Three members of Gazipur DB police have been closed to Gazipur police line on charge of assaulting a nurse of Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College (STAMC).
The DB police officials are Assistant Sub-Inspector Mushfiqur Rahman, Constable Anwar and Fazlul Hoque.
Gazipur Superintendent of Police (SP) Mohammad Harun-ur Rashid closed the DB police officials on Tuesday morning after visiting the hospital. In the visit, the SP assured of ensuring justice in the incident.
STAMC authorities said Mushfiqur, Anwar and Fazlul around 10:30pm Monday went to the emergency unit of the hospital in search of a suspected criminal named Rana. However, Rana managed to escape the spot sensing the presence of the police.
The DB team blamed the hospital's Senior Nurse Abul Fazal for the incident and they started beating up him there with sticks mercilessly. At one stage, they tried to pick up Abul Fazal out of his workplace as well, but their effort ended in vain in the face of intervention by the victim's colleagues and the physicians.
Later, injured Fazal, general secretary of STAMC Diploma Nurse Association, was admitted to the hospital.
Being angered by the police role, the hospital's staff immediately brought out a procession and declared a work abstention programme creating immense suffering to the patients.
Finally the agitating staff abandoned the programme as the SP visited the hospital in the morning and adopted the action against the alleged policemen.
STAMC Residential Medical Officer Abdus Salam confirmed the incidents to the Dhaka Tribune and said: “Normalcy has returned to the hospital after the action and assurance of justice made by the SP.”
