Quetta Acid Attack: Prime Suspect Killed in Armed Police Encounter Following Raid

Detailed Report

  • The Lethal Encounter: The prime suspect wanted for a horrific acid attack on a female doctor inside Quetta's Sandeman Provincial Hospital (Civil Hospital) was shot dead during an alleged armed police encounter on Saturday. The deceased suspect has been identified by law enforcement as 26-year-old Hamayun Shah, who was employed as a lift operator at the same healthcare facility.

  • The Fatal Standoff: According to detailed briefs released by the Quetta police command, operational units tracked the suspect to a local bus stop utilizing real-time intelligence feeds regarding his escape route. When tactical teams closed in to execute an arrest warrant, Shah allegedly drew a weapon and opened fire on the officers. This triggered a fierce exchange of gunfire, resulting in the suspect being mortally wounded at the scene.

The CCTV Evidence and Outrage: The investigation was heavily expedited by hospital security infrastructure. Closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage captured the chilling moments Shah approached the specialized ward, executed the chemical assault on Dr. Mahnoor Nasir while she was actively on duty, and fled the premises. The footage further documented the injured physician courageously attempting to pursue her attacker before collapsing outside the ward doors. The targeted violence sparked massive outrage across Balochistan's medical community, with the Young Doctors Association launching immediate demands for institutional security and justice.

  • Emergency Medical Airlift: In the wake of the assault, Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti made direct contact with Dr. Mahnoor's family, ordering state organs to underwrite the entirety of her medical and rehabilitative expenses. Provincial Health Minister Bakht Muhammad Kakar confirmed on Saturday that all logistical arrangements have been finalized to transport the injured doctor to Karachi via a specialized air ambulance. Due to the severe nature of chemical burns, she will be admitted to a dedicated burns avant-garde unit in Karachi for long-term specialized treatment.
