Delwar Hossain, 25, and Mozammel Haque, 27, two technicians at the blood and x-ray departments, were also suspended by the
institute authorities for their misdeed.
The victim, wife of a businessman of Manikganj undergoing treatment at ward No 4 from June 24, alleged that she had come out of the ward for collecting a bottle of water.
Finding Delwar and Mozammel gossiping in a room, she asked them for a bottle of water and they took her into another room on the pretext of providing water at about 9:30pm.

The victim later told the matter to her husband, who informed it to the Tejgaon police.
The police went to the hospital and arrested the suspected rapists at about 11:30pm. A case was filed with Tejgaon police station in connection with the raping.
