Days after the death of Kashmiri MBBS student, Saba Rasool, in Iran, her brother Zubair Rasool has spoken to the media in Srinagar, debunking reports that she was denied proper medical care. He described in detail the sequence of events leading to her demise and expressed gratitude to doctors, university officials, and the Indian Embassy in Tehran for their support.

Zubair said he was in constant touch with his sister until her condition deteriorated. “On 12 August, I spoke to Saba. She complained of vomiting and later went to the hospital, where she was admitted. She underwent ultrasound two or three times, all of which were normal. On 13 August, she again fell ill and was admitted to a private hospital, where doctors noted that her liver enzyme levels were high, though ultrasound again showed no abnormalities. Soon after, she fell unconscious. 1 was in continuous touch with her friend, who later informed me that she had been put on a ventilator,” he recalled.
