The attorney general, Mahbubey Alam, on Friday faced the wrath of lawyers and activists of opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party as he went to Square Hospital to see the body of late Momtaj Uddin Ahmed.
Seeing him at the hospital lounge, the lawyers and activists got angry and began shouting and hurling abusive comments, branding him a killer.
They also chased him towards the elevator and went up to the third floor of the hospital chanting slogans.
Immediately after his arrival, a contingent of riot police was deployed inside the hospital. They cordoned off the room where the body of Momtaj was kept while inquest examination was on.
The attorney general remained present till the examination completed. No newsman was allowed to go there.
The agitated lawyers, meantime, gathered at the exits of the hospital to keep the attorney general confined.
After two hours, Mahbubey Alam left the hospital avoiding the demonstrators through the basement of the hospital riding a police car. Meantime, the Supreme Court Bar Association president, Khandakar Mahbub Hossain, accused Mahbubey Alam for attempting to doctor the inquest report.
The AG had stayed there when the examination was done and none others was allowed, not even the family members of Momtaj.
'We suspect he had dictated the report and there might be no mention of the marks of electric shock on MU Ahmed's body,' Khandakar Mahbub Hossain added.
