Students of Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College and Hospital who embarked on a strike on Monday night in protest against the attack on two interns by relatives of a patient, suspended their movement early on Tuesday morning.

Amit Hasan Sunny, a fifth-year student of the medical college, said, "We have suspended our strike after getting assurances from the authorities that steps will be taken against the accused."  

Additional police force has been deployed at the medical college to ensure the safety of the students, he added, reports UNB.

The arrestees are Muhid Hasan Rabbi, general secretary of Sylhet ward-3 of Bangladesh Chhatra League, and his associate Ehsan Ahmed.

On Sunday, two relatives of a patient misbehaved with a female medical intern at the hospital. They were later handed over to the police.

To take revenge, relatives of the patient entered the college campus and stabbed two intern doctors on Monday night.

On Monday, at 10pm, all intern doctors of the hospital suspended their services and announced to go on strike until all the attackers were arrested. They closed all the hospital gates and took position on the main road in front of it creating a blockade.
