Two second year students accused of sodonomy, escaped to Waziristan.

ISLAMABAD: Margalla police registered a case of sodomy against two medical students after the medico-legal report of the victim was released.

The victim, Ahmed Anwar*, is a first year student of the College of Medical Technology (CMT) at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) hostel.

Talking to The Express Tribune, police said the suspects had fled the premises of CMT the day Anwar reported the matter to the college administration.

Sources within Pims said the two students of second year at CMT had escaped to Waziristan.

According to details, Niaz Ali, the warden of the hostel, shifted Anwar to the two boys’ room a few days ago, where he became a victim of their harassment.

Sources said that Anwar complained to the hostel management several times, but they did not take any notice.

However when he raised the issue with his friends, both the accused boys ran from the hostel.

CMT students on Thursday protested in the premises of the hospital and closed the emergency ward for a few hours.

They demanded the hospital administration to change the warden. Later, their request was heard, with the hospital administration replacing Niaz Ali, who also teaches in the college, with Dr Maqsood Anwar. The two boys accused for the harassment were also suspended by the hospital administration.
