Relatives vandalise hospital after death of baby
Relatives of a newborn baby vandalised Ad-Din Hospital at Moghbazar in the city yesterday and attacked its employees just after the death of the baby, alleging that negligence of the hospital authorities led to his death.
The hospital authorities, however, denied the allegations, saying that the relatives of the baby ransacked the hospital and attacked its staff without any reason.
The police said housewife Rabeya Begum of Gazipur gave birth to the boy at the hospital on Sunday, but the baby fell sick and died yesterday morning.
After his death, the relatives became infuriated and alleged that there was no supply of electricity, which led to the death of the child.
Witnesses said about 30 people swooped on the hospital and its staff.
Hospital authorities said the attackers damaged the windows, doors and other furniture of the hospital.
They also claimed that there was no interruption of electricity supply.
