Cadet College Larkana student Muhammad Ahmed, who was tortured by his teacher leaving him paralysed, awaits financial aid from the Sindh government which had promised to send him to the United States for treatment. His father Muhammad Rashid says that for the past several weeks he has been running from pillar to post at the Sindh Secretariat, but to no avail.
The father and son had been issued a visa valid for 6 months. 14-year-old Muhammad Ahmed had been issued a US visa along with his father for treatment at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital in December. According to the father Muhammad Rashid, the hospital has estimated the cost of treatment to be close to $250,000.
