Death of Teacher
Students block road, attack doctor's house
Agitated students attacked the house of a doctor of Rajoir hospital yesterday alleging that their teacher died due to his negligence.
Deceased Subhash Chandra Biswas, 55, was a teacher of Tekerhat Popular High School and College.
The students also barricaded the Dhaka-Barisal highway for half an hour.
Sources said Subhash Chandra Biswas, a blood cancer patient was admitted to Rajoir hospital about 7:10am yesterday.
As his condition was deteriorating, a nurse informed and requested the Resident Medical Officer (RMO) Dr Dilip Kumar Das to come to the hospital as early as possible.
But no sooner Dr Dilip reached the hospital, the patient died.
Hearing the news of the teacher's death, the aggrieved students attacked and hurled brickbats on his residence.
When asked, local health and family planning official Dr Shahidul Islam said Shubhash Chandra was suffering from blood cancer for long. The allegation of negligence is not true, he added.
However several locals alleged that most of the doctors often keep busy with their private practice during the office hours.
