Imran Hossain, a 23-year-old staff reporter of the newspaper Amar Desh, was seriously injured after being hit by an army bus in Gazipur’s Borobari area on Wednesday. Following the accident, he was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) but reportedly received minimal treatment before being sent home. His condition worsened on Thursday while resting at his sister’s residence in Shah Ali, prompting his family to take him back to DMCH.

Doctors at DMCH later confirmed that Imran’s shoulder bone was fractured and that he might require urgent surgery. However, hospital staff initially refused to admit him, insisting he return home. After repeated pleas from his family, he was eventually admitted. Family members expressed concern over his excessive bleeding and deteriorating condition. Attempts to contact the hospital director, Brigadier Asaduzzaman, were unsuccessful.

Earlier that morning, two members of the military police visited Imran’s sister’s home to inquire about the incident but left after family objections. Witnesses said the accident occurred when an army bus hit Imran as he was crossing the Dhaka–Mymensingh highway.
