A three-year-old girl, Shiza, has died in Karachi’s Akhtar Colony after allegedly receiving a wrong injection, according to her family.

The family took Shiza to a local doctor due to a high fever. Following the injection, the child developed a wound on her leg.

The family returned to the doctor, who reportedly bandaged the wound and sent them home. Shiza’s condition worsened the following day, prompting the family to rush her to Jinnah Hospital, where she passed away.

Shiza was the youngest of four siblings.

Police have reportedly launched an investigation and filed a case against the doctor.
