One more student, who was injured in the horrific December 16 Taliban attack on an Army-run school here, succumbed to his injuries on Saturday after fighting for his life for over two months, taking the death toll to 153 in the tragic incident.

Ishaq Amin, a tenth-grade student in the Peshawar Army Public School, passed away this morning in the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) where he was under treatment since he was brought there on the day of the attack in critical condition.

Ishaq’s brother Amir was also injured in the attack and is undergoing treatment in the same hospital.

Ishaq’s elder brother Waqar blamed the government for neglecting the treatment of injured students and said he could register an FIR against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, the Express Tribune reported.
