A Pakistani woman doctor is under investigation for her alleged involvement in poisoning dozens of school students over the past three weeks in Takhar province of Afghanistan, an official has said.

Officials said they have arrested 11 suspects, including the Pakistani lady doctor, identified as Gulnaz, on charges of involvement in poisoning the students, reports The News.

Gulnaz is said to belong to Punjab province.

"The authorities concerned are grilling Gulnaz, but there is no proof of her involvement in the matter so far," said Takhar media in-charge, Mustafa Rasuli.

Gulnaz was working at a health clinic in Rustaq district in Takhar province, without the required medical certificates, Rasuli said.
