According to the victim’s father, some officials of the Lahore General Hospital had allegedly lured his son,20, with a job offer at the hospital. They claimed that they would arrange a ‘driver’s job’ for his son at the hospital, he added.

The police had registered a case against the suspects on the behalf of the youth’s father and launched investigations into the incident. Police had said that a woman among five people was involved in the incident.
