The High Court (HC) on Sunday ordered authorities concerned to investigate allegations of negligence by authorities of United Hospital over the death of Gulf Air pilot and US citizen Captain Mohammad Youssef Hassan Al Hendi.
A High Court division bench comprising Justice KM Kamrul Kader and Justice Mohammad Showkat Ali Chowdhury passed the order after holding a hearing on a writ petition filed in this regard. The court also issued a rule over the matter.
Ordering the director general of the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) to conduct the probe, the High Court ordered to conclude the probe within the next 30 days and submit the report within seven days of concluding the probe.
Barrister Sakib Mahbub moved the plea before the court, while Deputy Attorney General Sheikh Saifuzzaman stood for the state.
Captain Mohammad Youssef Hassan Al Hendi died at United Hospital while undergoing treatment there. Hendi's sister Taala Al Hendi was accusing the hospital authorities of its alleged negligence over the death of her brother. She filed the writ on June 6.
