LAHORE: Professor Dr Musaddaq Khan of the Benazir Bhutto Hospital, who examined the dead body of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, has been shifted to the US, a private TV channel reported on Monday.
Punjab Health Secretary Fawad Hassan said Dr Khan left for the US without taking advance permission from the government. He had forwarded a leave application on reaching the country, but it was rejected. The health secretary said that investigations into the case had been completed and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has the file, the channel quoted him as saying. Dr Musaddaq is a key person in the murder probe, as he was the one who had examined the wounds and tried to revive Benazir’s heartbeat.
