Prisoner dies at DMCH

A prisoner of Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj died at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) on Monday afternoon due to illness, say doctors. 

Confirming the obituary, DMCH police outpost In-charge Bachchhu Miah said that Md Sohel, 35, died at the hospital where he had been brought from the jail earlier in the day.

“He first received primary treatment in the hospital outdoors and was immediately referred to National Institute of Mental Health and Hospital,” he said.

As Sohel was being taken to the hospital at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, his physical condition started worsening again. Then he was taken back to the DMCH again, where he was declared dead after some time.
