A local court in Karachi on Monday summoned an investigation officer (IO) and the father of a nine-month-old girl, Nashwa, who died after being administered a wrong injection, for the confirmation of the settlement between the victim family and Darul Sehat Hospital.
A district & sessions court of Karachi East heard Nashwa death case. The IO appeared with the charge sheet, but the court refused to approve it. The IO told the court that Nashwa’s father and the accused party had reached a settlement over the girl’s death issue. According to the charge sheet, hospital employees Agha Moeez and Sobia were responsible in the case and the death of Nashwa had been termed as “negligence” on part of the hospital staff.
However, the police removed the names of hospital owners Aamir Chushti and Farhan Ali from the case. The IO in his charge sheet said that the accused party and the victim girl’s father had reached the settlement so the case should be abolished. The owners of Daurl Sehat Hospital, Aamir Chushti, Farhan Ali and four others are free on bail in this case, while nurse Sobia, Agha Moeez and two others were in the jail.
