Most of the 167 people admitted to the National Institute of Neuroscience (NINS) during last year’s uprising had lost parts of their skulls, said the hospital’s Associate Professor Md Mahfuzur Rahman on Wednesday.

As many as 575 people came to the hospital with gunshot wounds but authorities could not admit all the critically injured due to overcapacity and the threats issued by security agencies, the physician said while giving his testimony at the International Crimes Tribunal-1.

Former prime minister Sheikh Hasina is the prime accused in the case. The other two accused are: former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, and former police chief Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun.

Abullah Al-Mamun has confessed to his crime, and become a state approver in the case.
