A convicted former member of Bangladesh Air Force escaped from Dhaka Medical College Hospital while under supervision of jail guards.
The fugitive, Rezaul Karim, 26, was admitted at DMCH on February 9 where he was being treated at ward 701 of unit 3 at the DMCH. Rezaul took permission to use the washroom from the jail guard around 1.30pm yesterday and fled the hospital, said DMCH police camp acting in-charge Sentu Chandra Das.
“Rezaul was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment in September 2014 for violating air force discipline,” said Farman Ali, Senior Jail Superintendent of Dhaka Central Jail.
Jail security guards Khitish Chandra and Jafar, who were in charge of guarding Rezaul, were suspended as they failed to carry out their duty, said the senior jail superintend.
