The Case
Pakistanis are gutted as multiple decaying and unidentified dead bodies were found on Multan’s Nishtar Hospital’s roof. Some sources are quoting the number of dead bodies to be 500 however it has been not announced officially.
Videos and photos circulating on social media show gruesome scenes of the deceased bodies. Some sources claim that the chests of the bodies were open and the organs had been taken out.
What The Hospital Management Has To Say
The spokesperson of the hospital, Dr. Sajjad denied the claim of multiple bodies rotting on the roof and claimed that only 4 bodies were left on the roof to ‘naturally dry’ and be used for educational purposes since Nishtar Hospital is a teaching hospital. However, according to him, various inquiry committees have been formed to look into the matter.
Moreover, the HOD claims that these bodies were given to them by the police for post-mortem and for teaching purposes if necessary. However, according to him, the bodies were not in a condition to be used for teaching purposes, hence, they were left on the roof to complete the process of putrefaction. He said their bones would’ve been gathered for medical students.
Developments Regarding The Inquiry
To investigate further into the case, the Punjab Government has curated a committee consisting of 6 members to look into the matter. The vice-chancellor of Nishtar Hospital has also formed a 3-member committee.
Furthermore, the medical superintendent of the hospital was sent a letter yesterday that demands a detailed inquiry report from them in the next three days.
