The Bangladesh Association of Psychiatrists made the announcement at a press conference at the institute in Dhaka’s Shyamoli on Thursday after abstaining from work for two days. The psychiatrists also stopped private practice demanding the release of Mamun, saying that he had no involvement with Anisul’s death. Police arrested Mamun on Nov 17 on charges that he had recommended Anisul to the private hospital when the ASP sought treatment at the government institute. According to the statement, Anisul’s brother-in-law Rashedul Hasan Ripon took Anisul to the institute with the help of some policemen early in the morning on Nov 9. Shahana recommended Anisul’s admission to the hospital immediately, but the relatives did not agree, Poddar said in the statement.
