Death of Mridul Kanti: HC orders probe

The High Court yesterday ordered an investigation into the death of Mridul Kanti Chakrabarty, a Dhaka University teacher, who allegedly died due to doctors' negligence at LabAid Cardiac Hospital in the capital.

The court directed the director general (DG) of the Directorate of Health to form a probe committee in this regard and submit the investigation report to it by October 10.

Mridul Kanti Chakrabarty, professor at the Music department, was rushed to LabAid Cardiac Hospital with acute dehydration at around 9:45am on August 15 and died there after around one hour.

An HC bench passed the order during hearing a writ petition filed by Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh's president Manzill Murshid.
