According to the FIR, Postgraduate Resident General Medicine Dr Saira Tahir, who was an eight-month pregnant, received a head injury during the incident.

Moreover, suspects used abusive language against her and tried to destroy the government property.

Executive Director Pims Dr Raja Amjad said it was an unfortunate incident as one of the suspects was a dental doctor by profession, though was not a Pims employee.
