Karachi police have booked a doctor and four other suspects on charges of 'criminal intimidation' in a case pertaining to the suicide of a young doctor, Dr Maha Shah.
Dr Maha, a resident of Defence, had killed herself by a gunshot on Aug 18 over alleged blackmail by the suspects.
The FIR registered by her father against Junaid Khan, Waqas Hasan, Dr Irfan Qureshi, and two others contains sections 334, 337-J (causing hurt by means of poison), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention), reported Dawn.
As per the FIR, Dr Maha developed a friendship with Junaid Khan through his sister in 2016, who allegedly provided drugs to Dr Maha and coaxed her into misusing them. The suspect also allegedly subjected her to criminal assault.
Fed up by this, Maha entered a friendship with Dr Irfan Qureshi who also proposed to her, prompting threats from Junaid, said the FIR.
According to the report, when Maha told Dr Qureshi about the situation, he allegedly took advantage of the situation and took her to his home on the day of the suicide. At his home, Dr Qureshi gave drugs to Dr Maha and allegedly subjected her to ‘objectionable things’, the FIR claimed.
However, Dr Maha left his place in a fit of rage and returned home where she told her family the entire story. The FIR stated that the deceased told the family that she was being threatened with dire consequences, saying that she would end her life.
