PAKISTAN: An octogenarian died in Pakistan after being operated on by a former security guard at a hospital in Lahore who pretended to be a doctor.
Shameema Begum, 80, died on Sunday, two weeks after Muhammad Waheed Butt performed “surgery” to treat her back injury.

According to this official, the unknown remains on the type of surgery performed by the impostor in the operating room, where a qualified technician was also present.
