CCC suspends health staffer for ‘vaccinating people at home’
Authorities of Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) suspended Bishu Dey, a health staffer of Mostafa Hakim Maternity Hospital, which is run by CCC, for his alleged connection with misappropriating Covid-19 vaccines and "vaccinating people at home in exchange for money".
The CCC also formed a five-member probe body headed by its Chief Revenue Officer Nazrul Islam to investigate the incident.
The CCC came up with the decision after police arrested two people from Zakir Hossain Bylane on Monday over allegations of taking Covid-19 vaccine at home illegally.
A case was filed with Khulshi Police Station in this connection.
According to sources in the police, the arrestees, during primary interrogation, told police that "CCC health staff Bishu Dey supplied them the vaccine at home in exchange for money".
Bishu, who was on the run, was also made an accused of the case.
Contacted, CCC deputy secretary Ashek Rasul Chowdhury said they would issue a formal letter to the members of the committee tomorrow.
"The committee has been asked to submit a report in two working days," he said.
On Sunday, a photo of one Hasan receiving the Covid-19 vaccine at home went viral on social media. Law enforcers conducted drives in Khulshi area and arrested Hasan and his friend Mobarak Ali in this connection.
