LAHORE: The uncle of the wounded minor boy, nine-year-old Absar, has said that his nephew was not given proper medical assistance at the hospital after he was taken to the medical facility in critical condition following a bomb blast in Lahore, ARY News reported on Thursday.

A nine-year-old boy, Absar, from Karachi, lost his life in the powerful bomb blast in Lahore’s Anarkali Bazaar. The deceased boy from Karachi had been visiting Lahore to meet relatives.

While talking to ARY News, Absar’s uncle said that his nephew was critically injured in the bomb blast and taking his last breath on his lap. Absar’s uncle broke down in tears following the death of his nephew due to negligence of the hospital administration.

He complained that the hospital administration kept asking him to take Absar here and there instead of providing him with timely medical assistance. He added that he is unaware of Lahore hospital as he is a resident of Karachi.
