A Rajshahi court has granted bail to Dr Shimul in a case filed over death of a patient in his clinic.
Rajshahi Metropolitan Magistrate Sharmin Akter passed the order after the hearing on Sunday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the doctors of Rajshahi have withdrawn their strike as their colleague gets bail.
Private Clinic Owners’ Association President Dr Adbul Mannan said: “We called the strike demanding release of Dr Shimul. We have withdrawn the strike as he gets bail.”
Doctor Shamiul Ahmmad Shimul was imprisoned on Thursday over a case that alleged the death of a patient for wrong treatment.
On December 29, a patient Anwarul Haque, injured in pre-election violence, said to have died after Dr Shimul administered an injection in Dolpin Clinic.
The victim’s wife Sharmin Akhter sued the doctor over death of her husband.
On Thursday, Rajshahi Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Biswanath Chandra Mondal sent Dr Shimul to prison after the doctor was detained by police.
Doctors of most government and private hospitals and clinics of Rajshahi went on strike from Thursday demanding release of their colleague.
