The stolen items include 76,000 cancer pills, missing over a period spanning from February 17, 2023, to September 26, 2023.
Following a detailed complaint from the Medical Superintendent of Civil Hospital, a case has been initiated against several health department employees at the Eidgah police station.
As per the initial information, police have implicated two employees of Civil Hospital, Niaz Khaskheli and Iqbal.
