Ten staff members of Mind Aid Hospital in Dhaka have been arrested in a case filed over the death of Barishal Metropolitan Police (BMP) Senior ASP Anisul Karim Shipon.
Police’s Deputy Commissioner (Tejgaon Division) Harun-or-Rashid confirmed the matter to The Business Post.
The arrestees include Mind Aid Hospital’s Marketing Manager Arif Mahmud Joy, 35, and Coordinator Redwan Sabbir, 23.
Mohammad Rezaul Karim Sabuj, brother of the deceased ASP, said Anisul was posted at BMP as assistant commissioner (traffic). On Monday morning, he was brought to Dhaka National Institute of Mental Health and Hospital (NIMH) from Barishal around 6:30am as he has been suffering from mental illness.
From there, Anisul was taken to Mind Aid Hospital in the city's Adabor area around 11:30am. He was taken to the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases where doctors said Anisul had died before being brought here.
When Sabuj informed police, they collected the CCTV footage of the hospital which showed some people dragging Anisul and beating him up while being taken to the washroom.
Sabuj said his brother was killed by the staff of Mind Aid Hospital.
Earlier on Tuesday, Anisul's father Faizuddin Ahmed filed the case against 15 people, said Adabor police station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Kazi Shahiduzzaman.
