      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A massive embezzlement of Rs350 million in medicine procurement has been uncovered at Karachi’s Civil Hospital.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to an inquiry committee report, records of medical stores and consumer purchases have also gone missing, while the store in-charge, Niaz Khaskheli, has fled after his bail was rejected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The corruption scandal, which involves over Rs350 million worth of medicines, was brought to light through an inquiry committee formed by the Sindh Chief Minister.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Aaj News&lt;/em&gt; has obtained a copy of the report, which reveals that records from the hospital’s IT department, consumer logs, and medical store records have disappeared.&lt;/p&gt;
