While seven of the blast victims of the Samjhauta Express were set to be flown to Pakistan after being discharged from Safdarjung hospital, Rana Shaukat Ali, his wife and daughter have been held back. Rana is one of the key eyewitnesses in the case and sketches of two suspects were released by the police after consulting him.
On Wednesday night, a team of Delhi Police Special Cell had come to Safdarjung hospital at 2 am and spoke to Shaukat for nearly an hour, sources said. It is still not sure when he will be allowed to leave as the police are still carrying out investigations. The doctors at the hospital were surprised at the hasty shifting process. "He (Shamim) is in a critical condition, I doubt he will survive. He had inhaled a lot of gases and his lung has been damaged. Also, we don't know the extent to which the internal injury has taken place", said a doctor on duty at Safdarjung.
<b>The victims were shifted to an ambulance at 3.45 pm and taken to Palam airport. The plane was scheduled to leave at 6.15 pm. However, due to a technical snag it was delayed. One of the victims who is in a critical condition was taken on ventilators, although his relatives alleged that they were not informed about the shifting process. The manner in which the patients were shifted raises many questions.
"I don't understand why he (Shamim) is being shifted when he is not in a condition to be moved. How can they shift him without our permission?</b> The blast has already taken the lives of his father and brother, why are they bent upon taking his life too? Why is the Pakistan Government adamant on shifting him with others", asked Mohammed Wasim, a relative of the patient. Another relative of the patient Ashok Alam expressed his dissatisfaction with the whole process of shifting. <b>"They did not even consult us before shifting. I came all the way from Sialkot early in the morning today. There were not even proper arrangements. We want Ashok and Ramesh to be treated here". </b>
Meanwhile, Shaukat relative Rana Liaquat Ali Khan arrived on Thursday morning and was unable to identify the bodies of Shaukat's daughters at Panipat. "The bodies are charred beyond recognition and only Shaukat will be able to recognise them", said Liaquat Ali. When asked about Ayesha, he said, "We are almost certain now that she is no more".Â
