Provincial Health Minister Dr Sagheer Ahmed told Express News that Memon has been expelled on directions of MQM chief Altaf Hussain.

Dr Sagheer said that the health department will ensure the security of the nursing staff in all hospitals.

Earlier Nurse Magline said that four doctors including Dr Jabbar had raped her and she had to jump off the building to save her self.

Talking to MPA Humera Alwani in the hospital, Magline said that she wants to tell the truth but she has been receiving threats.

Ms Alwani assured her that the culprits will be brought to justice.

The official statement of the nurse has not yet been recorded.

Mustafa | 14 years ago | Reply Everyone knows that DR ABDUL JABBAR & his accomplices has done a brutal act against our sister nurse. This is not happening for the first time in our country. This all happens because no one before has been punished for such shameful acts. Therefore these criminal minded people do these activities with no fear and regrets. They have good sources with them which save them later on. Does anyone realize that if this girl when jummped from the building to save her life after loosing all her respect was found dead who would have ever known what had happened that day. Fortunately she survives and gave the statement against the culpurits then it doesnt make any sense to drag the case in the court and to beat around the bush. These culpurits must be charged immidiately so the next time nobody should even think about this brutality. I hope we will c the justice. Thankyou Express news and we would like if we see the updates about this case. Regards

Aliya | 14 years ago | Reply It would only serve well to make a punishment such that the person should think about this beastly act for as long as he shall live, and curse the day and the moment that he undertook such an act. He and his accomplices should be brought into a sphere where they will be socially stigmatized. How to do this.....? Simple, castrate them and all convicted rapists of all sorts. This will save many more lives from being scared and eventually ended.....either at the hands of such criminals or a slow social stigmatized death.

muhammad furqan | 14 years ago | Reply why haven't the names of the other three doctors been revealed who participated in this heinous atrocity?? how many times & to how many thousands of nurses & lady doctors has this happened throughout this country?? this case became public only because she managed to jump & the media got a whif of this story. how many more girls has this doctor raped in his lifetime?? The important thing to remember is that this doctro wasn't alone,their were 3,4 other doctors with him in this gang rape. This is a reflection of the state of our society where women have been squeezed into fixed roles of mother,sister,daughter & wife.Our ppl haven't accepted the reality of working women:they just view any woman not their daughter,sister,mother as a sex object. The religous fanatics keep on reinforcing throught their speeches that a woman's only place is in the house & her sole purpose is to serve the male members of her family. As long as our society doesn't change its myopic view of women,the state of women in our country won't improve. let's see if he is convicted & does jail time.Given our system it seems he'll go scot free to rape other girls in the future,just as thousands of rapists have gone free in our land before him.

Syed A. Mateen | 14 years ago | Reply The culprits should be immediately arrested and tried under a special court to be constituted for rape cases only and should be severely punished publicly for what they have done with the nurse. According to my knowledge and information, if tried in the court of law, rapist(s) can be awarded death penalty. In such a case, the rapist(s) should be publicly hanged till death, so that other people should learn a lesson and should not rape daughters of Pakistan.
