* September [[MGM]]: An online Bangladeshi newspaper published the headline in September 2010 that a six-year-old had died before circumcision. Sajjad Hossain Mimu was to be circumcised by a village doctor. He was given three injections of the local anesthetic lidocaine before the operation, whereupon the child became ill and lost consciousness. The father took his son to a hospital where the doctors pronounced Sajjad dead. They suspected that he had died of an overdose of the narcotic. The boy's father planned to file a complaint against the doctor who had fled shortly after the boy's death.<ref name="pro" /> | * September [[MGM]]: An online Bangladeshi newspaper published the headline in September 2010 that a six-year-old had died before circumcision.
