DHAKA, Jan 15, 2024 (BSS) - The High Court (HC) today ordered to investigate

the death of five-year old Ayaan Ahmed following a circumcision at United
Medical College Hospital in Satarkul area of the capital.

The court also issued a rule, asking authorities concerned to explain as to
why it shall not pass an order to provide Ayaan's family Taka five crore in
compensation.

A High Court division bench of Justice Mustafa Zaman Islam and Justice Md
Atabullah passed the order after holding hearing on a writ petition filed in
this regard.

The court in its order asked Director General (DG) of Directorate General of
Health Services (DGHS) to conduct the probe and submit its report within
seven days. It also ordered DGHS to submit a report within one month on the
unauthorised hospitals and clinics across the country.

Advocate ABM Shahjahan Akand Masum moved the plea, filed on January 9 for
cancelling the registration of the concerned doctors and taking action
against the hospital authorities, before the court while Deputy Attorney
General Tushar Kanti Roy stood for the state.
