British Broadcasting Company (BBC) Urdu’s groundbreaking report on the aftermath of the November 26 clash between Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and law enforcement agencies at D-Chowk, Islamabad.

As part of its investigative reporting, a BBC team visited Islamabad’s Poly Clinic and PIMS Hospital to clarify the events surrounding a contentious protest in Islamabad. Despite official denials from Poly Clinic’s administration on Thursday rejecting claims of receiving any casualties from the protest, BBC’s access to hospital records contradicted these statements. Records indicated the presence of three bodies, all with gunshot wounds, received on the evening of November 26, with two fatalities recorded within the hospital.

Hospital personnel confirmed that one of the bodies stayed in the Poly Clinic morgue until Wednesday, while families claimed two others. Additionally, a doctor from the hospital claimed that police had interfered with the process of releasing the bodies.

In an interview, Federal Minister of Information Atta Tarar asserted that police or law enforcement had not fired any shots, arguing that there would be autopsy reports if such events had occurred. However, two Poly Clinic medical staff members told the BBC that police had indeed blocked them from performing autopsies.

While the administration at PIMS Hospital had limited access to their records, the BBC discovered that families had claimed the bodies of two PTI workers from Shangla and Mardan brought to the facility.

Out of five reported fatalities from gunfire on Tuesday, hospitals no longer held four bodies. Nevertheless, the BBC identified several individuals at the hospital who had sustained gunshot wounds during the PTI protest.

Several doctors reported to the BBC a massive influx of patients with gunshot wounds on the evening of November 26, with estimates ranging between 45 and 55 cases. These doctors, opting to stay anonymous for fear of repercussions, described a hectic and overwhelming scenario where they performed urgent surgeries under extreme conditions.

Government Minister Atta Tarar responded to these allegations, dismissing them as propaganda from PTI and suggesting political bias among medical professionals linked to PTI. He emphasized that official statements from the Medical Superintendent and the Ministry of Health have categorically denied these claims.
