A patient died at the cardiology department of Rangpur Medical College Hospital, sparking a dispute between family members and medical staff. The family alleges the patient died due to a lack of oxygen, while doctors claim they were physically assaulted by the patient’s relatives following the death. In response to the alleged assault, doctors withheld the patient’s body and suspended emergency room services for three hours. The hospital staff protested the attack and demanded action against those responsible. Eventually, the body was released to the patient’s son, Rifat Hossain, after an unspecified resolution. Authorities are investigating both the patient’s death and the subsequent altercation.
