Pilot's death: Deceased's sister calls for CAAB probe

Tala Elhendy Josephano, sister of Gulf Air pilot Mohammad Yousef Hassan Al Hindi, today called upon the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) to investigate her brother's death and take action for the negligence of the airlines.

Addressing at a press conference at city's Dhaka Reporters Unity, Tala Elhendy said she had contacted CAAB on March 7, requesting the regulatory authority to investigate the role of Gulf Air for its negligence.

"However, they have not responded to the issue," she added.

The Jordanian-American Mohammad Yousef pilot died on December 14 due to negligence of city's United Hospital, her sister alleged.

Tala Elhendy alleged that her brother was not given timely and proper treatment even after he was admitted to the hospital following heart attack.

United Hospital, however, in a statement had claimed that the allegations of mistreatment and medical negligence were "completely false and fabricated."
