CMCH student Akib recovers from injury, returns home

CHATTOGRAM, Nov 19 (UNB): Chattogram Medical College student Mahadi J Akib returned home on Thursday after recovering from the severe head injuries he suffered during a clash between two factions of BCL on October 30.

Akib, 21, a second-year student of the medical college, was being treated at the hospital for the last 19 days after he got injured on his own campus.

The medical board formed for his treatment decided to release him from the hospital on Thursday afternoon.

Later, his father and brother took him to his village home in Burichong in Cumilla.

Director of CMCH Brigadier General SM Humayun Kabir said, "Akib's condition has recovered a lot so we approved the release paper. But within a month and a half he will have to undergo another small surgery."

On October 29, two BCL factions -- one led by a former mayor and another by a junior minister -- locked into a clash. They reengaged in clashes the next morning, leaving Akib and two others injured.
