After initial treatment at emergency section, she was being treated at gynaecology ward.
Dr Golam Kiabria, assistant registrar, who was in-charge of gynae ward instead of serving the patient was enjoying world cup match at another room of the hospital.
Seeing the worsening condition of the patient, aya and relatives approached Dr Kibria, but he turned down their request and rather continued watching the match.

Victim’s husband Ashrafuzzaman Babu filed a case against Dr Kibria and an on-duty nurse-maid with the thana accusing them for the death of his wife.
Meanwhile, local journalists took out a procession and held wayside meeting protesting the death and demanding punishment to Dr Kibria.
