Without eradicating bribery corruption and intimidation , the country will never prosper. It will always remain a failed state. Very stiff punishment as per Sharia Law should be implemented.

This is an extremely serious incident. In a country where it is possible to get a person shot dead by giving a few lacks to the underworld and because these people have untold looted black money stolen from innocent patients , anything can happen !! At least minimum sentance of 10 years rigouress imprissonment should be imposed on the accused if found guilty !!
