Karachi (HRNW) The Karachi police believe a young doctor who died on August 18 after a gunshot to the head did not commit suicide.
The 24-year-old woman was brought to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre on August 18 night in a pulse-less condition, according to the hospital’s executive director, Dr Seemin Jamali.
Her family brought her in and said she had shot herself in the bathroom of a house in DHA Phase-IV. It was initially believed that it was a death by suicide but the police now believe it might have been a murder.
Dr Jamali confirmed that the young woman sustained a gunshot wound to her left parietal side (left side of her head) and the bullet exited from the right parietal side. The woman was right-handed, and Dr Jamali said in such cases it is more likely that the entry wound is on the right side.
However, she did not rule out the injury being self-inflicted. The woman died before hospital staff were able to put her on a ventilator. No post-mortem examination was conducted at the family’s request and they have reportedly buried her in Mirpurkhas, she confirmed.
