KARACHI: As 21-year old Muhammad Abid recovers from his plastic surgery at Civil Hospitals Burns Ward, his father is hoping this may be the last round of surgery. He is especially hopeful this time because a team of foreign doctors, who are visiting Karachi, have performed the surgery.
Abid has been suffering for too long now. Its punishing. For him and my family bothwe are tired. I really hope he gets better this time, says Muhammad Haroon, Abids father. Seven years ago, Abids qari (madrassah teacher) had splashed acid on his face. His crime was that he rejected sexual demands from his teacher.
Abid was at home when his teacher splashed acid through a window in his bedroom. The incident took place in the summer of 2002 when he was only 14. The lights were out so Abid had left his bedroom window open and was lying on his bed by the window without a shirt. Suddenly his teacher, who also lived in our neighbourhood, appeared and within seconds threw acid on Abids face and fled. Abid couldnt react immediately, but my other two children who were in his room identified the teacher since they went to the same madrassah, explains Haroon.
