'Unauthorised' man's entry in Kulsoom Nawaz's hospital room creates panic

ANI  |  London [United Kingdom] 

A man allegedly sneaked in former Sharif's wife, Kulsoom Nawaz's hospital room without permission at on June 16.

This sparked alarm among members of the Sharif family, Dawn reported.

On June 15, Kulsoom suffered a cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit of a hospital.

She was later sedated and put on life support.

Muslim League-(PML-N) on Saturday arrived in to see his ailing sister-in-law.

"This man fooled security and managed to reach Begum Kulsoom's room," Geo News quoted Hussain Nawaz, the son of Sharif, as saying.

In a video shared on Twitter, the man identified himself as Naveed. According to Dawn, he is a doctor with a medical practitioner's ID card.

"Even if he is a doctor, it does not mean that he can enter a place he has no concern with," Hussain added.

The man who entered into the clinic was then inquired by the police. He was let off with a warning after his medical practitioners' ID card was scrutinised and he wasn't found guilty of any criminal offence.

Naveed said he was a former member of the Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and had come to support the Sharif family, in his capacity as a Pakistani.

Begum underwent multiple surgeries from August 2017, after she was diagnosed with throat cancer (lymphoma). Her condition began to deteriorate in April this year, after which she was moved to for treatment.
