FAISALABAD, May 31: Jhang Bazaar police on Wednesday night registered a case against doctors without naming anyone who had operated upon Shumail Raj in same-sex marriage episode.

Police sources said Jhang Bazaar SHO Mian Khalid registered the case on the orders of the Lahore High Court, but he did not mention the name of any doctor as a result DIG (operations) Mohammad Aslam Tareen had suspended him from service.

Shumail Raj and Shehzina were arrested by the Faisalabad police from Lahore on May 20 after the bride’s family complained about the gender of her husband. The court sentenced the ‘couple’ for three years in prison the other day.

However, investigation head of the same police station, Khawar Saleem, nominated Dr Mohammad Asif of Ghulam Mohammadabad in his preliminary investigation.

He said Dr Asif had been nominated according to the court’s direction and if any other was found guilty would also be included.
