’Go out for dinner’, Nurse allegedly harassed by hospital’s administration

Parveen Rind, a practising nurse at Peoples University of Medical and Health Sciences for Women (PUMHS), Nawabshah alleged that she had been harassed by the university administration since her first year at the university, reports BBC Urdu.

Rind alleged that “we were told to be friends with them, go out to dinner or else they would fail, cancel the admission and would beat us or harass us if we did not comply with their demands.”

She added that on the morning of February 9th, three masked women barged into her hostel room, attempted to kill her and threatened her that if she tells anyone about the harassment, she would be dead. After the incident, the victim immediately told her family.

In a video that is circling around social media, Rind can be seen saying that no girl is safe at the university’s hostel. She said that no student had committed suicide at the hostel, apparently referring to the mysterious deaths of Dr Nimrita and Dr Nosheen Shah in their hostel rooms in Chandka Medical College, Larkana, Naila Rind’s death in her hostel room in Sindh University, and Dr Asmat Rajput’s ‘suicide’ in her home in Sita Road town. “All had been killed”, she claimed.

After protesting against the university administration and repeated complaints, the Sindh health minister Dr Azra Pechuho formed a three-member inquiry committee, reports Dawn.

The chairman of the committee informed the PUMHS Vice-Chancellor (VC) that he would conduct an inquiry into the incident on February 11 (today) at 10am. As per the media, they have started the investigation without waiting for the report.

However, the university’s registrar rejected Rind’s statement in a press release and said that no such incident had taken place.
