KASUR, Dec 12: A young man fell prey to reported doctors’ greed on Monday evening at Al Shafa Medical complex here. Sadar police on Tuesday booked four doctors.

Abdul Majeed, the father of victim Malik Aslam, said that his son was tarvelling on his motorcycle to Kasur from Lahore last week. When he reached near Nakeebabad, a cab hit him leaving his right leg fractured. Aslam was referred to Lahore General Hospital from the Kasur District Headquarters Hospital owing to his critical condition.

At the General Hospital, orthopedic surgeon Dr Zaman Khan attended Aslam who allegedly delayed the operation for four to five days and asked the family to shift the patient to Al Shafa Medical Complex in Kasur for operation.

When the family shifted the patient there, he demanded Rs70,000 for treatment. The family gave him a RS30,000 in advance.

Dr Zaman Khan who works as a consultant at Al Shafa operated upon the victim along with Dr Kaleem, Dr Tahir and Dr Ashfaq. Owing to inadequate equipment and over bleeding, patient’s condition worsened which baffled the doctors who without seeking permission from the family of the patient, put him in an ambulance and rushed him to the Lahore General Hospital.

But on way to hospital, Aslam died. MO Dr Khalid owns the Al Shafa Medical Complex.

Sadar Police Station on Tuesday booked the four doctors and the cab driver on the complaint of Majeed.

Earlier, 18-year-old Sumaira from Raja Jang died on Nov 08 when Dr Akram and three others allegedly refused to operate upon her at the Kasur DHQ Hospital and forced her family to shift the patient to his private clinic against Rs15,000.
