Physiotherapist Aktaruzzaman Mia filed a case with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court regarding the death of his son, Dr. Enam, on May 30 while undergoing treatment at BRB Hospital. Dr. Mahtab, a gastroenterologist at Labaid Hospital, was one of the three accused doctors. According to the allegations, Dr. Mahtab conducted an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure on Dr. Enam after he developed complications following a surgery at Islami Bank Hospital. Dr. Mahtab admitted to treating Dr. Enam for hepatitis B and performing the ERCP with the patient's consent to avoid further surgery's high costs and risks.

Dr. Mahtab denied any negligence, claiming he was unaware of Dr. Enam's pre-existing conditions. [3] [4]

Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver tissue. Some people or animals with hepatitis have no symptoms, whereas others develop yellow discoloration of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice), poor appetite, vomiting, tiredness, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Hepatitis is acute if it resolves within six months, and chronic if it lasts longer than six months. Acute hepatitis can resolve on its own, progress to chronic hepatitis, or (rarely) result in acute liver failure. Chronic hepatitis may progress to scarring of the liver (cirrhosis), liver failure, and liver cancer.
