Imran Khan Salam, senior joint convener of the municipal Yuba Dal, has been arrested by police on charges of assaulting Dr. Suranjit Das, an on-duty physician at the Bakerganj Upazila Health Complex in Barishal, and obstructing government work. The incident took place on Tuesday noon inside the doctor's chamber when the physician asked the patient to wait, prompting the suspect to enter with a few others and launch the assault. Seeking self-defense, the doctor took refuge in the office of the Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer.
Following the incident, Dr. Suranjit Das filed a case at Bakerganj Police Station. Later on Tuesday evening, police arrested the accused Yuba Dal leader from the house of Sohel Rana, vice-president of the banned upazila Chhatra League, located in ward no. 7 of Bharpasa union. Although the attack caused panic among the hospital doctors, emergency medical services were later resumed.
