Dr Mustafa Zaman, a cardiologist of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), who was one of the members of the medical board for the treatment to late war crimes convict and Jamaat leader Delwar Hossain Sayeedi, received death threats issued by the Jamaat men.
Following the death threat, the cardiologist filed a general diary (GD) at Dhandmondi police station on Tuesday seeking his security.
Md Parvez Islam, officer-in-charge of Dhandmondi police station, said that the physician lodged the GD as saying that he received death threat on Facebook messenger.
The OC said they are looking into the matter.
According to the GD, Sayeedi was admitted to the BSMMU on August 13 and breathed his last while undergoing treatment under supervision of Prof Chowdhury Meshkat Ahmed, chairman of cardiology department of the BSMMU, around 8: 40pm on August 14.
As one of the members of the specialist team of the hospital, he performed his duty as a physician but some people from different IDs were spreading propaganda on social media alleging wrong treatment and threatening him to kill.
The physician told the media that said doctors at the hospital give equal treatment to all and Sayeedi was also given proper treatment.
The wrong perception of people and the propaganda against him will end, he hoped.
Meanwhile, the BSMMU authorities on Wednesday explained the entire process of the treatment to Saydee.
In a press release, the BSMMU authorities said that Sayedee was brought by the Kashimpur Jail authorities to the emergency department of BSMMU at 10:30pm on Sunday. From the time of his admission to the hospital, all the subsequent treatments were completed following international practices.
In his treatment, all the specialist professors of the hospital properly performed their professional duties.
It also said that the next day on Monday, at 6:45pm, he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. Treatment continued as per his advanced cardiac life support protocol. But unfortunately he died at 8:45pm on the same day.
