Woman's death at DMCH raises questions

Staff Correspondent
In a shocking turn of events, the mother who along with her sister was caught on Sunday night sneaking out of the Dhaka Medical College Hospital with her newborn baby died at the hospital last night.
Her death raised questions as some security guards and attendants of the hospital alleged they saw the woman tied up to a bed at the labour ward in the morning.
Asma, 25, died around 9:00pm at the hospital's intensive care unit where she was shifted in the afternoon as her condition deteriorated, according to DMCH sources.
Hospital authorities, however, said she

died of "several physical complications".
Wishing not to be named, an attendant of the ward said Asma was tied up as she resisted the nurses while transfusing saline in her body.
Wife of a destitute rickshaw-van puller of Tongi, Asma gave birth to a son by caesarean section soon after she was admitted to the hospital in the early hours of Saturday.
Around 1:30am on Sunday, hospital security personnel caught Asma and
her sister Sumi while they were trying to sneak away with the baby without informing the authorities or collecting the discharge papers.
The DMCH authorities sued Sumi under the anti-human trafficking law for trying to steal the baby. She is now in prison.
Shahbagh police on Sunday alleged Sumi admitted to taking the baby out for selling.
Asma, however, contradicted police, saying that they had been trying to
evade paying some bills they could not afford.
Asma's parents, who attended her at the hospital yesterday, told The Daily Star that their daughter at times evinced signs of mental illness.
They said Asma's husband Jahirul fled off the hospital following Sumi's detention and did not return in fear of police harassment.
Meanwhile, the hospital authority handed over Asma’s body to her parents without conducting an autopsy.
