A 22-year old girl under treatment at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences was allegedly raped by a hospital staffer, Geo News reported on Monday.
A spokesman for the medical facility said the staffer accused of rape has been suspended and an inquiry is underway.
The spokesman said the victim belonging to Swat valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was undergoing treatment for a disease in the Intensive Care Unit for the last one month.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has set up a committee, headed by Col (retd) Saifuddin, which dismissed an initial medical report, calling PIMS administration’s decision of informing police with a considerable delay by two days a ‘criminal negligence.’
The team said a strict action will be taken against the culprits. It also ordered DNA and medical tests of the victim again.
Besides PM Nawaz’s probe team, police officials also termed the delay in reporting the incident as tantamount to assisting the culprit to escape and obliteration of evidence.
