Inquiry into patient’s death ordered
LARKANA, May 21: The Zila Naib Nazim, Nazir Ahmed Bughio ordered an inquiry into the death of a patient, Rustam Gadhi, of Badah town as the villagers alleged that the medical officer concerned neither provided an ambulance nor treatment in time.
The villagers were protesting outside the district council hall while the council was in session. They chanted slogans against the medical officer, Dr Inayatullah Kandhiro.
They told the Zila Naib Nazim and Nazim of the union council Badah Athar Abbas Solangi after the session was over that they repeatedly contacted the doctor for providing an ambulance to shift a patient who was suffering from abdominal pain for emergency treatment, but he turned down the request, which led to the death of the patient.
The Zila Naib Nazim deputed Dr Khalil Katpar, Deputy District Executive Officer (Health), to initiate an inquiry regarding it and report soon.
HUNGER STRIKE: Some Brohi tribesmen and the workers of the Jeay Sindh Quami Mahaz who sat on hunger strike in Jinnahbagh on Tuesday demanded the early arrest of three police inspectors allegedly involved in torturing to death a man, Mukhtiar Brohi.
Mr Brohi had died in police custody at the Civil Lines police station about a week back.
M. Anwer, Gulzar Brohi, Deedar Brohi and others alleged that despite registration of a murder case with the Civil Lines police station against three police inspectors — Fida Hussain Chandio, Ghulam Abbas Gadhi, and Sarfaraz Paichoho — none of them had been arrested so far.
They said that the protest would continue till they were arrested.
The three police inspectors remain absconding ever since an FIR had been registered against them.

A case has been registered against four men — Haji Bakhsh, Nimatullah, Manan, and Inayat — at the Qubo Saeed Khan police station.
