    Lahore police and Establishment Division officers have tampered with the medical reports of those injured in clashes between Tahirul Qadri supporters and police on June 17.

    According to sources, doctors are being pressurized to change the medical reports of those with bullet injuries to those of physical violence.

    An officer of the Establishment Division from Islamabad arrived in Lahore today and was seen pressurizing the medical superintendent of Jinnah Hospital to change the reports of those admitted after the clashes erupted.

    The Establishment Division official said that he was visiting a patient. However, along with DSP Aftab and suspended SP Model Town division Tariq Aziz, he had taken over the medical superintendent’s office.

    Doctors, requesting anonymity, confirmed to Express News that they were asked by police to add names of police personnel injured in the incident as well. However, they said there was no police personnel currently admitted in the hospital, as they had been discharged at night.

    Furthermore, police stopped doctors from treating the 51 injured and did not allow them to take their rounds in the ward.
