DHAKA, Jan 18, 2025 (BSS)- A physician and four others were sent to jail today after their bail petitions were rejected in a case over the death of a rickshaw-puller who died at Delta Health Care Hospital in Rampura allegedly in lack of proper treatment during the July mass uprising.

The accused are Dr Sadi Bin Shams, medical officer of Delta Health Care, marketing manager Md Hasan Miah, maintenance staff Md Borhan Uddin, security guards- Ismail and Nazim Uddin.

Ismail received bullet injuries on July 19, 2024 in front of Delta Health Care Hospital. He reportedly succumbed to injuries on the stairs of the hospital being deprived from any instant treatment.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Masuma Rahman passed the order after Investigation Officer Md Hiron Mollah produced them before the court today.
