Children injured in Sahiwal incident out of danger

A committee has been formed for physical and psychological treatment of the kids.

Lahore (Pakistan Point News – 20th January, 2018) The children injured in the shady Sahiwal encounter are now out of danger.

According to details, General Hospital MS Mehmood Sultan said that the children hit by the bullets are now out of danger.

A decision on whether to shift the children to the ward or keep them under observation in emergency will be taken today.

The MS said that a committee has been formed to take care of the treatment, medicines and observation related all aspects of the children.

Moreover, the services of doctors from psychiatry department will also be taken.

He said that the hospital has given best treatment to the children. They will soon recover and will be able to go back to their home.

The General Hospital principal said that the children injured in the Sahiwal incident were brought to the hospital at 5am. Dr Tayyab said that a committee has been formed for physical and psychological treatment of the kids.

The initial post-mortem report of those killed in the Sahiwal incident has also been released.

According to the post-mortem report, driver Zeeshan received 10 bullets.

A 13-year-old girl, Areeba, present in the car received six bullets while Areeba’s mother Nabeela received four and her father Khalil received 13 bullets.

Just as the post-mortem report was released, there was an outrage among people against the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) officials who blindly opened fire at the car.

The four people present in the car received a total of 33 bullets. One bullet hit minor Umair’s leg, injuring him.

Four people including two women were killed during an action by CTD in Sahiwal on Saturday.

Reportedly, the incident occurred at Qadirabad where a team of CTD Lahore, taking action against a suspected car, shot dead two men and two women.

Later, the CTD team took the bodies, children and other valuables from the vehicle. However, the team later on dropped the children at a filling station.

With the alleged shady encounter on a highway in Sahiwal district, a big question mark was posed on the functioning of Punjab Police.

The victims were first declared as kidnappers and then as terrorists from a proscribed group by the police force, which raised eyebrows on the alleged shootout, followed by contradictory witnesses' narratives.
