Nashwa case: Hospital owners escape from court after judge cancels bail

F.P. Report

KARACHI: The owners of Darul Sehat Hospital – Amir Chishti and Ali Farhan – escaped from court premises in Karachi on Tuesday after their bail pleas were rejected.

A judicial magistrate heard the case of Nashwa’s death today.

“It was the responsibility of the investigation officer to probe the matter properly. In the interim bail, Section-119 has been added and then Section-322 was imposed. A case of unintentional murder could have been made but the investigation officer also registered a case of Section-302,” said the lawyer of the accused.

The court later dismissed the bail pleas of Amir Chishti and Ali Farhan, following which they fled from the court.

Nashwa’s father Qaiser Ali, while speaking to the media representatives after the hearing said, “Even in a previous hearing, the accused had fled and now two more accused easily slipped away from the court.”

Last week, two doctors who are prime suspects in Nashwa’s case had also managed escaped from court after their bail was cancelled.

Announcing that he was now approaching the Supreme Court against the de-sealing of Darul Rehat Hospital, Qaiser said, “We will tell the court that till the day it starts utilising eligible workforce and good standard equipment, the hospital should not be de-sealed.”

On April 22, Qaiser took his twins — Nashwa Ali and Amisha Ali — to Darul Sehat Hospital because they were suffering from diarrhoea.

Nine-month-old Nashwa was allegedly given improper treatment at the hospital that paralysed her and led to her death.
