Arrest Patuakhali 'fake' doctor: HC
The High Court yesterday further ordered the police to immediately arrest Rajon Das, an alleged fake doctor of a clinic in Patuakhali, for leaving cotton inside the abdomen of a woman after operating on her in March.
The court also directed the officer-in-charge of Baufal Police Station in Patuakhali to produce Rajon before it on December 10 for using a false medical practicing certificate.
The HC bench of Justice Salma Masud Chowdhury and Justice AKM Zahirul Hoque gave the order after OC Monir Hossain yesterday appeared before the judges and said that police are yet to arrest Rajon although they have taken necessary steps to detain him.
Earlier on November 6, following an inquiry report submitted by the civil surgeon of Patuakhali, the HC bench had ordered the OC to arrest Rajon and produce him before it by November 15.
In the report, the civil surgeon said Rajon Das, who conducted operation of a woman leaving cotton inside her abdomen, was a fake doctor and used a false certificate, Assistant Attorney General Arobindu Kumar Roy told The Daily Star.
On August 23 this year, the same bench issued a suomoto (voluntary) rule following a report on the incident published in the Prothom Alo on July 22.
According to the report, the cotton was extracted out the abdomen of one Maksuda Begum, 25, wife of Russel Sardar from Bilbilas village in Baufal upazila, through an operation on July 12 after she was admitted to the hospital in a critical condition.
Earlier in March, Maksuda gave birth to a baby girl at Niramoy Clinic in Baufal through a caesarean section, and after a month, she felt severe pain in the abdomen.
Maksuda's digestive tract has been infected, as the cotton remained in the abdomen for a long time, the report said, quoting a doctor of the hospital.
