33 brokers detained at DMCH

Joint forces have detained a total of 33 brokers and fraudsters from the Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) area in an operation.

The operation, led by Dhaka District Executive Magistrate Afrin Jahan, was conducted on Thursday (February 6).

Later, the detainees were sentenced to various terms, including fines, with the maximum sentence being up to three months.

Hospital Director Brig Gen Md Asaduzzaman said punitive actions would be taken against any hospital staff members if found guilty, and daily wage workers involved would be dismissed from their positions.

He also assured that such operations would continue in the future.

Earlier, in November last year, the joint forces arrested 21 people in a similar operation. They were also sentenced to various terms.
