Three female doctors, including an associate professor at Services Hospital Lahore, have been suspended in connection with a serious criminal case involving allegations of abuse, attempted abortion, and the death of a domestic worker in Model Town, Lahore.
According to the 24NewsHD TV channel, the suspended medical professionals include Women Medical Officer Dr Amrah Sabaahat, Dr Ayesha Umar Khan, and Associate Professor Dr Mansoora Mirza.
All three have been removed from duty and directed to report to the Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education Department.
Authorities allege that the doctors were involved in facilitating procedures linked to the attempted termination of pregnancy and the destruction of evidence in the case.
The incident came to light a few days earlier when a domestic worker accused her employer’s son, Aun, and a driver, Hassan, of serious criminal conduct including sexual abuse.
Following these allegations, Model Town police registered a case covering multiple charges, including gang assault, attempted abortion, destruction of evidence, and murder.
Police officials say the investigation is continuing, and further legal action will depend on the findings of forensic and witness evidence.
On June 7, the TV channel reported that a doctor of Services Hospital revealed to be involved in abortion in the case of the death of a maid after alleged gang rape and abortion in Lahore’s Model Town.
According to police sources, the Services Hospital doctor works at Sohail Surgical on Raiwind Road, and the domestic worker’s abortion was performed at Sohail Surgical.
The doctor had asked to bring the maid to Services Hospital when her health deteriorated after the abortion.
Before dying, the affected maid had accused driver Hassan and owner’s son Aun of gang rape.
Accused Hassan is currently in jail, while accused Aun is on bail.
The police have filed charges of rape, abortion, destruction of evidence and murder in the case.
