The committee, headed by Dr Professor Shariful Islam, has been asked to submit its report within two working days, the medical college Vice Principal AZM Sakhawat Hossain has said.

Security in both the medical college and the hospital has been beefed up, he said.

Some hospital staff joined work but the intern doctors were yet to resume work.

Mitford intern-doctor and medical college Chhatra League unit general secretary Shaon Das said they would not join work until those behind the trouble were brought to book.
The interns would boycott classes and exams in the mean time, he said.
Technicians and Grade IV staff assaulted an intern-doctor around 2.30am on Tuesday, when he tried probing the case of a wrong report being issued to a patient by the blood-testing laboratory.
Reacting to the assault, the intern doctors clashed with the hospital staff in the morning, resulting in a disruption of hospital services.
Witnesses said that angry interns and students from the adjoining Sir Salimullah Medical College went on a rampage in the hospital early on Tuesday.
After a while, the hospital staff fled in panic.
Local MP Mostofa Jalal Mohiuddin visited the hospital around 1.30pm and held a meeting with the administration, doctors and the members of the staff.
It was decided that action would be taken against those responsible.
‘Patients not served food in time’
Patients in the hospital did not get food since the hospital staff were absent.
They were served breakfast around noon at the initiative of the nurses.
No doctors visited the wards either to see the patients since morning.
The hospital food manager Md Golam Mostofa said the angry interns damaged the kitchen during the clash, leaving chief cook Fazlul Haque injured.
Other cooks panicked and left the kitchen.
There are 26 cooks in the hospital, Mostofa said, adding that 13 work in each shift.
Since all of them left, no food was cooked for 684 patients in the hospital.
Cook Fazlul and two other staff, Tito and Badal Dash, were admitted to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Patients who have turned up at the hospital seeking medical attention amid continuing Opposition-sponsored blockade, faced trouble since the doctors stopped working.
Doctor on duty at the Emergency ward, Abdur Rashid, said he had not examined any patient since morning.
Hasna Henna, 35, from Keraniganj, told bdnews24.com that she had been waiting with abdominal pain to see a doctor at the hospital for the pastt two hours but was unable to find a doctor.
Relatives of a pregnant woman Salma were advised to shift her to some private clinic for urgent attention by the staff at Mitford, where doctors were not available.
