Chakwal police have registered a murder case under section 315 and 316 against the accused doctor, child specialist Dr Mohammad Amir.
The doctors of Chakwal reacted sharply and both government and private doctors observed 3 days strike against the arrest of Dr Amir which caused great hardships to the people.
