In the 9-minute-long video, the freelance journalist took a tour of the hospital and briefly dug out the details of the entire ailment period, allegedly on high public demand.
Among many who took exception against the exclusive coverage, one of the Twitter users said that Asad Toor should respect the sanctity of Justice Qazi Faez Isa instead of publicizing his health condition like a TikTok star.
