| Beaten Imam’s wife kicked out of hospital |
| 2004-07-11 |
| The wife of the imam of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Hospital Jame Mosque, whom his associates assaulted and critically injured on Tuesday night, received repeated death threats from his (imam’s) men and the hospital authorities released her without proper treatment, she alleged yesterday. Sabina Islam, wife of imam Saiful Islam, left the hospital yesterday but did not return to their residence fearing further assault by Saiful’s men and some hospital workers. Sources said the hospital authorities had released Sabina on Friday night since they found her ’okay’ after some hospital workers’ samity men attacked her in her cabin and tore medical reports on her. The attackers also asked doctors to release her and threatened her family members to leave the residence. The incident followed arrest of Aman Ullah, one of the three accused in the case concerning the assault on Sabina. The other accused, Saiful and muazzin of the mosque Abdul Kader, are absconding. "I still have fever and pains in my neck," Sabina said yesterday. A three-member committee headed by Pro Vice-chancellor of the BSMMU Abdul Mannan was formed yesterday to look into the matter. "We asked the imam and his wife to turn up at the hospital superintendent’s office at around noon yesterday but they did not," said Abdul Mannan. Sabina told this correspondent, "The attack on me on Friday night showed the hospital authorities cannot ensure my security. So I am afraid of going there again. Meanwhile, Sabina’s 10-year-old daughter Shammi said yesterday, "I am alone in our house. Some people came to the house and threatened me to leave it." |
