The suspects, believed to be juveniles, came seeking treatment and shot Javed Akhtar, a Unani practitioner (BUMS), at approximately 1:45 am, according to the police.

A police officer stated that Akhtar was found slumped in a chair, bleeding heavily from a head wound.

The investigation pointed to the involvement of two boys, both around 16 years old, who had arrived at the three-bed Nima Hospital at about 1 am for wound dressing, the officer explained.

One of the boys had a bandaged toe and had visited the hospital the previous day as well, it was revealed.

After their dressing was completed, the boys entered Akhtar’s cabin.

Police are reviewing CCTV footage from the reception area, dressing room, and hallway of the facility for further evidence.
