An acclaimed dermatologist Dr. Dharam Dev Rathi was stabbed to death by his driver at his residence in Citizen Colony, Hyderabad on late Tuesday night, officials said. Rathi, a senior doctor was 60-year-old and retired from the health department, as sources said.
According to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Amjad Sheikh, the incident took place on Tuesday night when Dr. Dharam Dev Rathi reached home after his duty at a clinic in Sadar Bohri Bazar.
The preliminary investigations stated that there was an argument between Dr. Dharam Dev and his driver Hanif Laghari on the way and on reaching home, Hanif took a dagger from the kitchen and killed him.
The cook of the house Dileep Thakur was also injured and quoted as telling the police that the drive is a resident of Khairpur Mirs, brutally slaughtered the Hindu doctor and fled with the car.
Meanwhile, Provincial Minority Affairs Minister Gianchand Esrani condemned the incident and directed the SSP to arrest the murderer as soon as possible.
From a source it is divulged that the Muslim driver had been demanding a portion of the house of Dr Rathi for the use of the former which was not given by the doctor. Dr. Dharam Dev Rathi’s family lives in the US.
As a matter of fact, the Muslims of any class in Pakistan understand that the minority Hindus are the prey of them and they can treat them whatever they like.
Police are searching for the culprit to send him behind the bar for at least some time for managing the reactions created in the mind of the minority people in the locality anyway.
Hindu minorities in Pakistan are passing through the hardest time in its history now before vanishing from the land for ever.
