A 41-year-old undertrial inmate in the Chandpur district jail has died after she complained of having breathing difficulty, police said on Friday.
Umme Hasina, who had also been down with fever for the past few days, was rushed to District Sadar Hospital after her condition worsened on Thursday noon. Both fever and breathing problems are symptoms of Covid.
Resident doctor of the hospital Sujauddula Rubel said the female inmate was brought to the hospital around 1.30 pm in a critical condition. “She breathed her last in the emergency department during treatment.”
Hasina had been lodged in the district jail for the past 14 months after being arrested in connection with two cases filed against her, police said.
