JPMC Nurse Sexually Assaulted by Medico Legal officer
Nurse regains consciousness
Karachi:Even after gaining complete consciousness on Saturday, the-19-year-old nurse who was allegedly sexually assaulted by a medico-legal officer, was not in a condition to talk to anyone or record her statement.
The nurse was visited by Special Secretary Health Abdul Majid and Police Surgeon Hamid Pathyar. As soon as they started asking her about the incident, she started shouting and getting agitated. On this, the accompanying doctors said that she is not in a condition to talk to anyone as well as not mentally ready to record a statement.
Doctors also made it clear that her statements given to anyone will have no legal validity at all unless she becomes mentally stable.
Now, the special secretary health and the police surgeon will take her statement after two days.
After gaining consciousness, the nurse was constantly demanding to be taken to her home. When she was told to rest, she asked for a wheel chair to sit on. Her one leg was tied to the bed post as she was trying to scratch her leg which had a bruise on it.
According to an official involved in the fact-finding committee formed by the health minister, the statement of the nurse will lead to a conclusion in the case. The official said that according to the statement of Dr Jabbar Memon, he hurt himself on his hip bone as he was trying to frantically get down from the first floor through a pipe which broke midway and he landed on his back.
After daylong protests by the nurses at the hospital, a search operation to clean out all the illegal residents from the vicinity of the JPMC will be started in a day or two. According to reports, there are 12 illegal residents still living in the doctors’ mess even after being issued notices.
Meanwhile, the blood samples of Dr Jabbar Memon have still not gone for the DNA test to Islamabad as Abdul Majid pointed out that the “process takes at least six or seven days to get the complete results.” At the same time, he sounded uncertain as to where the samples had to be sent.The news
