Former MP Dr Pran Gopal Dutta Seen Teaching at Medical College in India’s Tripura
Former Bangladeshi lawmaker and physician Professor Dr Pran Gopal Dutta has been seen delivering academic lectures at a medical college in Tripura, India, according to videos circulated online.
Professor Dr Pran Gopal Dutta, former Member of Parliament from Cumilla-7 (Chandina) and a renowned physician from Bangladesh, has been seen conducting academic sessions at a medical college in Tripura, India.
Recently circulated videos on social media and footage published by the institution showed him delivering lectures using digital teaching tools in a classroom setting, focusing on Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT)-related medical topics.
However, no official information has yet been disclosed regarding how long he has been associated with the institution or under what formal arrangement he has been providing academic services.
Dr Dutta is widely known in Bangladesh as an ENT specialist and previously served as Vice-Chancellor of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, currently known as Bangladesh Medical University.
In recognition of his contribution to medicine, he received Bangladesh’s Independence Award in 2012. He later entered politics and was elected as a Member of Parliament from Cumilla-7 under the Bangladesh Awami League.
Following the political transition in Bangladesh in August 2024, he remained largely out of public view. The recently surfaced video has renewed public discussion about his current activities and location.
