Silent Horror in Sadiqabad: 25 Innocent Lives Mutilated Under the Guise of Surgery
In what can only be described as one of the most horrifying acts of medical exploitation in recent times, 25 people — including children — fell victim to a sinister operation in Sadiqabad, Punjab, where their kidneys were illegally removed under the false promise of treatment for kidney stones.
This is not a fictional crime thriller. This is real. It happened in Pakistan, in our communities, to real people — and yet, mainstream media has remained disturbingly silent.
The Heinous Crime
These victims were reportedly lured into undergoing what they believed were routine surgeries to treat kidney stones. Trusting the medical practitioners and the system meant to protect them, they entered clinics with hope and left with missing organs and shattered lives.
This wasn’t an accident. This was premeditated organ trafficking — a human rights violation of the highest degree.
While many might assume that such crimes are rare or relegated to the darkest corners of the world, this case proves that even in broad daylight, vulnerable people can be preyed upon, often with no justice in sight.
Children Were Among the Victims
Perhaps the most chilling aspect of this case is that children were also among the 25 victims. Innocent lives, still in their formative years, were subjected to irreparable damage — physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Their trust was betrayed by a system that should have protected them.
Where Is the Media?
This should have been national news. There should have been headlines, press conferences, investigations, and public outrage. But instead, the story has been largely ignored or buried.
Why?
Is it because the victims were poor? Is it because this scandal exposes uncomfortable truths about corruption, negligence, and systemic failure? Whatever the reason, the silence is complicity.
When the media chooses silence over coverage in such matters, it becomes a part of the problem. Journalism is meant to be the fourth pillar of democracy — a voice for the voiceless — yet here, the voices of the victims echo unanswered in the void.
Demanding Accountability and Justice
We cannot allow this case to fade into obscurity. We must demand:
- A full, transparent investigation into the illegal surgeries.
- Arrest and prosecution of the doctors, clinics, and middlemen involved.
- Media coverage that brings the truth to light.
- Medical regulations and oversight to prevent this from happening again.
Every Pakistani deserves the right to safe, ethical, and humane medical treatment — regardless of their social status or geographic location.
A Call to Action
If you’re reading this, don’t let this story die. Share it. Talk about it. Write to your local representatives. Demand that justice be served. These 25 victims deserve more than our sympathy — they deserve our voices, our outrage, and our action.
