Khanewal Additional District and Sessions Judge Majid Hussain Gadhi granted bail to Aqsa Afaq, a nurse at the district headquarters hospital, who had been arrested in connection with the deaths of three children at the facility about a week ago.
Earlier this week, her bail application had been rejected by a local judicial magistrate.
She was taken into custody on June 14 under a case registered against her under section 322 of the Pakistan Penal Code, alleging negligence that led to the tragic deaths of three children.
Dr. Umer Ghouri, CEO of the District Health Authority, lodged the FIR, claiming that the nurse administered an antibiotic injection to the children without following standard operating procedures (SOPs).
