Newborn theft allegation in Naogaon is false: BMA and clinic owners

The Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA) and the district clinic owners association have claimed that the allegation of a newborn being stolen after birth at a private clinic in Naogaon is completely false. This claim was made during a press conference held on Saturday afternoon at the BMA office in the Doyaler Mor area of the town.

It was stated in the press conference that a caesarean section of a parturient named Shantana Akter was performed at Balaka Clinic on Thursday. After reviewing CCTV footage, medical documents, and ultrasonography reports, it was confirmed that there was only a single child in the womb. They blamed sonologist Dr. Dina and Re-Life Diagnostic Centre for the faulty ultrasonogram report.

Following the incident, the parturient's husband Shant Islam filed a case, and police detained a clinic ward boy named Jihad Hossain. BMA leaders demanded a proper and neutral investigation, stating that clinic authorities and doctors are being harassed without verifying facts and an innocent worker was detained.
