Dhaka: The High Court on Monday issued an arrest warrant against Razan Das as he left gauze inside a woman’s abdomen during her cesarean surgery at a private hospital in Barisal.

An HC bench of Justice Salma Masud Chowdhury and Justice AKM Jahirul Haque issued the warrant.

The Patuakhali civil surgeon in the morning submitted a probe report before the court stating that Razan Das had been using fake certificate and conducted a cesarean surgery on a pregnant woman in Niramoy Private Clinic in Patuakhali and left gauze inside her abdomen in May.

Earlier on July 23, the same bench summoned three people, including Patuakhali civil surgeon and gynecology department head of Barisal Medical College, in this connection.

Supreme Court lawyer Md Shahid Ullah drew the attention of the HC placing a newspaper report in this regard on July 22.

Victim Maksuda Begum, 25, gave birth to a baby girl but her physical condition started to deteriorate after two months.

On July 12, the doctors of Sher-e-Bangla Medical College and Hospital detected the gauze inside her abdomen and removed it by another surgery.
