The boy, the only son of his parents with three sisters, has been left in severe pain after a botched circumcision.
In a statement, the victim’s father claimed the doctor who performed the procedure has been issuing threats of severe consequences. He urged the police to arrest the doctor and bring him to justice.
In a similar incident in 2022, a quack allegedly damaged the genitals of two brothers during circumcisions at a private hospital in Sialkot. Muhammad Bilal, a resident of Kushny Wali Kothy, a village on the outskirts of Sialkot, went to Ali Hussain Hospital, Ora Chowk, on May 15 to have his eight-month-old son Muhammad Muneeb circumcised.
Bilal said Dr. Zameerul Hasan Naqvi, along with Sameer Habib, Muhammad Asim, Haris Khan, nurses Miss Soha, Miss Ramsha, Miss Zainab, and four unidentified individuals, persuaded him to have the procedure done at the hospital. The private hospital charged a fee of Rs30,000.
Bilal reported that doctors and nurses took his son to the operating theatre, but after a week, the child’s wound did not heal. He discovered that the doctor and hospital staff had cut off his son’s organ. Bilal later learned that the doctor and nurses at the private hospital were not qualified.
