The ‘mysterious’ death of a nurse of a local clinic sparked protests in the district town yesterday.
Nurses of different hospitals and clinics, students of Pabna Nursing Training Institute and relatives of the deceased formed a human chain, demanding justice over the death of the nurse in front of Pabna Press Club in the town.
The deceased was Sumi Khatun, 22, daughter of Saikat Ali of Laxmipur village in Atghoria upazila, and a nurse of Sunrise Clinic in the town.
She was found dead in the clinic on Wednesday.
Speakers at the programme said Sumi might have been killed at his work place.
They also urged the authorities concerned to find out the culprits.
The deceased’s father at the human chain also demanded justice over his daughter’s death.
“I want justice for my daughter so that nobody faces the same situation,” said the father.
