A confrontation erupted in Rangpur after the death of a patient led to allegations that doctors withheld the body in the morgue. Relatives of the deceased and local residents blocked the Rangpur-Dinajpur highway demanding the release of the body, causing a traffic jam stretching about five kilometers on both sides. The blockade was lifted around 3 p.m. after the body was handed over.
According to hospital and family sources, Nur Nahar Begum from Jumma Para in Rangpur fell ill early Saturday and was taken to Rangpur Medical College Hospital. Her relatives claimed doctors delayed providing oxygen and insisted on admission first, during which her condition worsened and she died. Angry relatives reportedly attacked a doctor, after which the body was kept in the morgue and the emergency department was closed for two hours.
Hospital Director Brigadier Ashiqur Rahman described the incident as regrettable, stating that the patient had arrived in critical condition and that a case would be filed to ensure legal action.
