A physician reportedly fled from the Shahbagh police station on Friday after DMCH authorities handed him over to police allegedly for issuing fake medical certificates. The physician was identified as Dr Mohammad Jahangir Alam. Hospital sources said, Jahangir Alam illegally issued DMCH certificates to people regarding injury and others diseases in exchange of money. He was also sacked from the DMCH 2 years ago for forging signatures of ministry officials to obtain posting at the Neurosurgery department of the hospital. Despite being sacked from the DMCH, Jahangir continued his practice of issuing medical certificates illegally using hospital seals and documents. After receiving information, DMCH director Brigadier General Mostafizur Rahman on Friday went to the library of the Neurosurgery department and caught Jahangir Alam red handed along with hospital seals and other documents.Jahangir was later handed over to police but authorities did not file any case against him at that time. Police informed that measures will be taken against Jahangir after the authorities have filed a written complaint. According to police, Jahangir was taken to the Shahbagh police station, from where, he managed to flee. When contacted, senior police officials of Ramna Zone said a case will be filed against Jahangir and actions will be taken against the policemen involved for negligence of duty.
