Child Raped in Civil Hospital Lift — a chilling incident that has left an entire city in shock while officials remain disturbingly silent.
On July 7, inside Karachi’s Civil Hospital, one of Sindh’s largest government-run medical facilities, a tragic crime unfolded in a place meant for healing. A young boy, who had come to care for his ill mother, was allegedly lured by a lift operator with the promise of Rs100. Instead of help, the boy was taken to the third floor of the operation theatre complex—where the unimaginable happened. Child Raped in Civil Hospital Lift is not just a headline—it’s a heartbreaking reality.
The child, deeply traumatized, later confided in his father. Enraged, the father confronted the alleged attacker and even attempted to set him on fire in a fit of helpless rage. The police eventually intervened and arrested the lift operator.
But this isn’t just about one horrific act. Child Raped in Civil Hospital Lift has raised disturbing questions about hospital safety and management accountability. Why was the lift halted on the third floor for so long? Why didn’t anyone notice? Where was the CCTV coverage?
Shockingly, Civil Hospital’s Medical Superintendent Dr. Khalid Bukhari dismissed concerns, claiming, “There are too many lifts; how many cameras can we install?” This careless statement reflects the administration’s alarming negligence.
Instead of addressing the core issue, officials have started shifting blame. The OT complex in-charge, Dr. Bilal, redirected responsibility back to the MS, and both refused further comment. Even the press team from The Express Tribune was denied access to the lift where the assault took place.
Child Raped in Civil Hospital Lift should have sparked immediate reform—but all we see is silence and finger-pointing. This tragic event underlines the urgent need to install proper surveillance, train staff in child protection, and create safe spaces in public hospitals.
There can be no excuse, no delay, and no indifference when a child is harmed in a place meant for healing. It’s time for transparency, justice, and change.
