The raid took place on Sunday, August 21, from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM, led by Mithun Kumar Kundu, Company Commander of RAB-11, CPC-3.

- Harun (35)
- Sajib (25)
- Swapan (44)

According to RAB sources, the operation was launched in response to long-standing complaints that brokers were preying on patients at the hospital, often stripping them of money and proper care. Following the arrests, a mobile court sentenced the individuals based on the evidence found.
Executive Magistrate Mehrab Hossain, who presided over the mobile court, stated, “The issue of brokers hindering patient services at the hospital has been ongoing. Today’s sentences were based on solid proof of their involvement.”
RAB Commander Mithun Kumar Kundu affirmed that similar operations will continue in the future to protect patient rights and ensure proper healthcare services.
