Superintendent of Police (SP) Shehrbano Naqvi has broken silence on allegations by Dr Ali Zain Ul Abideen of Lahore, who claimed the cop pressured him into pay millions of rupees to a patient over a medical dispute.
Denying the allegations, Naqvi shared a detailed clarification on her Instagram story and revealed that she only met both parties once, on May 9, 2025, at her office.
She made it clear that she was not involved in any financial transactions and did not harass, coerce or pressure anyone.
SP Naqvi added that “the admission of guilt and cheques had been provided before the case reached her office, and the apology letter from the clinic was issued without any police involvement”.
Any monetary exchange that later took place occurred after she had left her previous office for her new appointment.
SP Naqvi said she had been appointed Model Town SP in October/first week of November and had nothing to do with the office of Defence assistance superintendent of police (ASP) Defence since.
Additionally, the officer called on public to not share false information on social media, saying that spreading misinformation was a sin and her name should not be used for personal benefit or publicity.
She also said that those spreading misinformation should thank her for not pursuing legal action against them for spreading misinformation.
Earlier, Dr Ali Zain had in an interview alleged that he was forced to provide three cheques totaling Rs10 million to a female patient who underwent laser eye surgery at his clinic in April.
He claimed SP Naqvi, then Defence ASP, had instructed him to reimburse the patient despite the surgery being medically successful.
The doctor also alleged that his clinic guard was detained during a visit by police personnel and argued that police have no jurisdiction over medical procedures, which should be evaluated by a qualified medical board.
