SADIQABAD, Jan 13: A resident of Gharibabad Tarindah Muhammad Pannah has alleged that a lady health visitor killed his pregnant wife and infant. Wazir Ahmad Baloch said he took his wife to a Tarindah Muhammad Pannah hospital where doctors told him that C-section was necessary.

Mid-wife Sakina persuaded the couple to consult a 'specialist doctor'. The couple reached the house of LHV Aalia Rahman who said there was no need for C-section.

Wazir said he told the LHV that their two babies were born by caesarean but she started the procedure for normal delivery after receiving Rs3,000 fee. Wazir said his wife and the infant died after a short while. He said that he would file a complaint against the LHV with the Liaquatpur additional district and sessions judge.
