According to details, those victims of 2005 earthquake who were brought to Mao Hospital also included a girl who leveled allegations against Dr. Maqsood Hussain of criminal assault.
Upon this, the then government lodged a case against Dr. Maqsood. However, no charge could be established in the court after the case was heard.
