ISLAMABAD: Polyclinic Joint Executive Director (JED) Dr Iftikhar Naroo has been subjected to violence by rival doctor in the office.

Iftikhar Naroo was beaten up mercilessly by Dr Jahanzeb for transferring a technician Naeem and the so-called protocol officer of the hospital, Raja Ilyas, who played major role in inciting the situation.

Two major hospitals of the federal capital have become headache for the Capital Administartion and Development Division (CADD) State Minister Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry. On one hand, rape case in PIMS has emerged as challenge for him and on the other hand manhandling and persecution of Executive Director Iftikhar Naro is at the hands of Dr Jahanzeb that has become cause of embarrassment for him. Dr Jahanzeb hit Naroo with a chair in latter’s room leading to manhandling and thrashing.

Polyclinic staff when tried to come on the way for reconciliation between them, they were also pummeled with punches and slaps.

According to information available with Daily Times, so called protocol officer of Polyclinic, Raja Ilyas is behind fanning the dispute for the reason that some days back another doctor had thrashed Raja Ilyas in his office room and he was sure that Dr Iftikhar Naroo had provoked the doctor who had attacked him. Technician Naeem met Raja Ilyas soon after his transfer and then both of them provoked Dr Jahanzeb to attack Dr Iftikhar Naroo.

An eyewitnesses told that Raja Ilyas has already got registered a false murder case against former executive director Dr Zahid Hussain in Abpara Police Station despite the fact that firing incident in respect of house of Raja Ilyas was proved fake in the preliminary investigation. The motive behind registration of false case was to influence and pressurise the subordinate staff of the office to follow his orders. CADD Secretary Hassan Iqbal told Daily Times that Dr Iftikhar Naroo has not contacted him otherwise he would have got registered the case adding that such illegal acts cannot be allowed and he will look into this matter.
