The temporary suspended victims are Dr Khurshid Jahan, Head of Gynaecology and Obstetrics Department, and Josna Begum, In-Charge of Nursing Staff of the SBMCH, said Dr Md Zakir Hossen, Director of the hospital.
The hospital authorities have sent a leltter recommending suspension of
Dr Khurshid Jahan Begum and Josna Akhter, bringing the charge of duty negligence, he said.
Any accused involved with the incident will be brought to justice, said Dr Zakir Hossen,
“The bodies of premature babies were used in classes for the medical students. May be the students or ward boys dumped all of them at a time. It will be asked why they did so as this was not the right way. They were supposed to be properly buried,” the doctor said.
On Tuesday, a three-member committee led by Dr Jahirul Haq Manik, Head of the Surgerical Department, was formed to investigate the incident. The two other committee’s members are Pathology Department Associate Professor Dr Faizul Bashar and Forensic Department Lecturer Dr Imtiaz Uddin. The Committee also asked to submit the report within three working days, according to hospital official sources.
The 31 bodies of “premature babies” were found in a dustbin at Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital in Barishal on Monday night.
Conservancy workers of Barisal City Corporation recovered those while cleaning the dustbin behind the hospital building on Monday night and informed it to ward master Modasser Ali, who later contacted police.
Modasser said, interns of the hospital usually examine and do research with such bodies. “However, those have been buried afterwards. I don’t know how these bodies were found into the garbage bin.”
The dustbin was very close to the main building of the hospital, adjoining the water tank.
Bodies were kept in the hospital morgue. Autopsy was conducted on Tuesday morning, said Nurul Islam, Officer-in-Charge of in Barishal Kotwali Police Station.
