The High Court on Sunday summoned the Civil Surgeon of Comilla and six other physicians to appear before it on April 4 to place their explanation over a faulty caesarean operation when doctors cut the baby’s head off.
An HC bench of Justice Salma Masud Chowdhury and Justice AKM Zahirul Hoque passed the order in a suo moto move as reports over the incident were published in two vernacular dailies. Those who were summoned are-Civil Surgeon of Comilla Mujibur Rahman, Director of Comilla Medical College and Hospital Dr. Swapan Kumar Adhikari, Dr Nasrin Akhter Popy, Dr. Ayesha Afroz, Janiul Haq, Dilruba Sharmin and Karuna Rani Karmaker. The HC also issued a rule asking the government to explain as to why the authorities concerned should not be given directives to take stern action against those involved in the incident.
