RAWALPINDI: Mysterious death of a murderer has become a headache for the doctors as well as the police due to uncertainty about the death causes of Khurram Shahzad, who died on February 23 in the District Headquarter Hospital.
A doctor in the DHQ Hospital while requesting anonymity revealed that the initial autopsy report of Khurram Shahzad says that he was a drug addicted as well as a patient of schizophrenia, and he had also consulted the doctors for his treatment twice. During the post mortem, doctors examined the body for any sign of cardiopulmonary arrest or chemical reaction, he said.
According to him, different samples of his body have been sent to forensic laboratory in Lahore. “The doctors cannot say anything about the reasons of his death, and will be able to declare before receiving the forensic report. The report is expected to be received in one month,” he said. Another doctor said that the patient remained in unconscious condition for four days after being admitted in the hospital, died in the same condition.
She doubted that the patient may have died due to his drug addiction. On the other hand, the Adiala Jail police are also doubtful about the death of their prisoner. An official on anonymity said that Khurram Shahzad was suffering from mental disorder and was found in strange activities like hitting his head with his cell’s wall. He said the jail’s doctor also reported about his mental condition.
He said they were also confused about his condition when on February 20 he was shifted to the DHQ Hospital in unconscious condition. He said all the prisoners had the same food that Khurram had which tells that the food was okay. However, the doctor’s phone number was not responding when contacted. Rashid, in charge of the mortuary in the DHQ Hospital, said that he stitched up the body of Khurram after his post mortem on February 23, but did not see any other mark of wound on his body.
It merits mentioning that in 2011, Khurram Shahzad natively from Rahimyar Khan and studying in Islamic International Medical College of Riphah University in Rawalpindi shot five bullets on the staff members of his college resulting death of his vice principal Brig Sanaullah, and injuring three other teachers. Later, the reason behind his act appeared as he was continuously being failed in the same subject of ‘medicine’ for many years while passing the others.
It was also learnt that the reason behind his failure in the subject was his clashes with Dr Ayaz, head of the department of the community medicine. Khurram Shahzad was immediately arrested by the police and later shifted to the Adiala Jail where after spending almost two years, he was shifted to the DHQ Hospital in Rawalpindi in uncertain condition resulting his death.
