Members of the bereaved family, flanked by hundreds of locals staged protest outside Sargodha Press Club by placing the dead body on road.
Deceased girl identified as Tehzeeb Khiam was operated upon by Dr Fawad Munawar in a private hospital at Jouharabad in District Khushab. On the occasion, heirs of the deceased girl alleged respiratory and other sensitive veins were badly affected during the throat surgery due to negligence and incompetence of the surgeon.
